Technical Data
R1660-26H
Retinoblastoma, phosphorylated (Thr821) (Rb)
Description:
Retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb) is associated with DNA binding activity and is thought to play a significant role in controlling cell cycle progression during tumor growth (1,2). Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation by cdk’s inhibits Rb binding, thus allowing cell cycle progression (3). Rb inactivation and cell cycle progression likely requires first phosphorylation by cyclin D-cdk4/6 followed by cyclin E-cdk2 phosphorylation (4).

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100
Immunoprecipitation: 1:20
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
