Revvity Alphalisa Surefire Ultra Human & Mouse Total Cdk5 Detection Kit, 100 Assay Points

Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is a proline-directed serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the Cyclin-dependent Kinase Family of proteins. Unlike other members of the family, the protein encoded by this gene does not only control cell cycle regulation, but rather mediates cell-cycle or DNA repairs through the phosphorylation of CK1. CDK5 activity reduces insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells and is implicated in IFNγ-induced PD-L1 upregulation, which allows certain cells to evade detection by the immune system and promotes the formation of lymphatic vessels. CDK5 is also associated with the migration of neurons and plays a role in the progression of various neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as various types of cancers.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Human and Mouse Total CDK5 Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of total CDK5 in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
