Member of the cyclin-dependent kinase pair (CDK9/cyclin-T) complex, also called positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which facilitates the transition from abortive to productive elongation by phosphorylating the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) POLR2A, SUPT5H and RDBP (PubMed:10574912, PubMed:10757782, PubMed:11145967, PubMed:11575923, PubMed:11809800, PubMed:11884399, PubMed:14701750, PubMed:16109376, PubMed:16109377, PubMed:20930849, PubMed:28426094, PubMed:30134174).

Replication stress response protein; the CDK9/cyclin-K complex is required for genome integrity maintenance, by promoting cell cycle recovery from replication arrest and limiting single-stranded DNA amount in response to replication stress, thus reducing the breakdown of stalled replication forks and avoiding DNA damage (PubMed:20493174).

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9) is a serine/threonine protein kinase involved in regulating transcription elongation. It is often referred to as part of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) complex. Cdk9 partners with cyclin T1 T2 or K to form this complex allowing it to phosphorylate the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. The molecular weight of Cdk9 is around 42 kDa. This protein is ubiquitously expressed found in many tissues including the heart liver and brain reflecting its important role.
Cdk9 functions as a central component of transcriptional processes. It is essential for the transition of RNA polymerase II from the initiation phase to productive elongation. As part of the P-TEFb complex Cdk9 targets negative elongation factors helping relieve their inhibition. This regulation is especially important in the control of genes with strong promoter proximally paused polymerase. By doing so Cdk9 controls the expression of several genes involved in cell growth differentiation and response to stress.
Cdk9 plays a significant role in transcription and signal transduction pathways. One important pathway is the NF-κB signaling where Cdk9 regulates the transcription of NF-κB target genes involved in immune response. Another significant pathway is the heat shock response where Cdk9 enhances the expression of heat shock proteins helping cells deal with stress. In both pathways it cooperates with other proteins like cyclins and negative elongation factors illustrating its interconnected role in cellular function.
Cdk9 has been linked to several conditions most notably cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. Its overactivation can lead to increased transcription of genes involved in proliferation making it a focus for cancer research. Cdk9 is also implicated in cardiac hypertrophy where its activity affects gene expression that can exacerbate the condition. Researchers study its interaction with other proteins such as THZ1 a Cdk9 inhibitor to explore potential therapeutic avenues.

ICC/IF image of ab38840 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were PFA fixed (10 min), permabilised in TBS-T (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab38840, 1μg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal serum / 0.3M glycine was used to quench autofluorescence and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
An additional band at approximately 34 kDa is occasionally observed with ab38840. This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity.

IHC image of ab38840 staining Cdk9 in Human breast adenocarcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab38840, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
