Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat CDC6 Monoclonal Antibody

CDC6,also named as CDC18L and HsCDC18,belongs to the CDC6/cdc18 family. It is involved in the initiation of DNA replication and functions as a regulator at the early steps of DNA replication. It also participates in checkpoint controls that ensure DNA replication is completed before mitosis is initiated. It localizes in cell nucleus during cell cyle G1,but translocates to the cytoplasm at the start of S phase. The subcellular translocation of this protein during cell cyle is regulated through its phosphorylation by Cdks. Defects in CDC6 are the cause of Meier-Gorlin syndrome type 5 (MGORS5). MGORS5 is a syndrome characterized by bilateral microtia,aplasia/hypoplasia of the patellae,and severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with short stature and poor weight gain. This antibody is a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against residues near the C terminus of human CDC6.
