Antigen Preparation
Recombinant human p57/Kip2 protein.
Background
"p57/Kip 2 (or CDKN 1C) is a tight-binding strong inhibitor of several G1 cycline/Cdk complexes and a negative regulator of cell proliferation. The gene is a tumor suppressor which is located on chromosome 11p15.5. Mutations in this gene are implicated in sporadic cancers and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). Several types of childhood tumors including Wilms' tumor, adrenocortical carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma display a specific loss of maternal 11p15 alleles, suggesting that genomic imprinting plays an important part. This region also contains two other imprinted genes, insulin like growth factor II (IGF II) and H19, both of which seem to be implicated in adrenal neoplasms."
