Specificity

Expression levels of the CDKN2A/p16INK4a protein may vary with sample type. It's barely expressed in normal tissue, and mostly expressed in some tumour tissues, such as cervical cancer, breast cancer and so on. Moreover, only expressed in some cell lines. Please see images for recommended positive controls.

Anti-CDKN2A/p16INK4a antibody [EPR20418] (ab211542) specifically detects CDKN2A/p16INK4a (UniProt ID: P51480; Molecular weight: 18kDa) and is sold in a convenient trial size to enable initial testing (20 uL) and larger sizes for subsequent scaling up experiments (100 uL and 1 mL).

Conjugation-ready, carrier free format available for antibody clone EPR20418 - ab23242.

CDKN2A, also known as p16INK4a, is a crucial tumor suppressor gene involved in cell cycle regulation and cancer development. It encodes the p16INK4a protein, which inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 4 and 6, preventing the phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and halting cell cycle progression from the G1 to the S phase.
