Anti-CDK7 antibody produced in rabbit

Cell division protein kinase 7 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

CDK7 (cyclin-dependent kinase 7) gene encodes a serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CDKs bind to cyclin, get activated and mediate cell cycle progression. CDK7 interacts with Cyclin H and MAT1 to form a trimeric complex that functions as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activating kinase (CAK) that activates phosphorylation of CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 and regulates cell cycle. CAK is essential for the progression of cell cycle. CDK7 is also a component of the transcription factor TFIIH that plays a role in initiation of transcription and DNA repair. CDK7 may serve as a target for cancer therapy. It may also function in transcriptional repression by inhibiting RNA polymerase II-catalyzed transcription.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
