Target/Specificity | This WEE1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 144-173 amino acids from the Central region of human WEE1. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | WEE1 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Function | Acts as a negative regulator of entry into mitosis (G2 to M transition) by protecting the nucleus from cytoplasmically activated cyclin B1-complexed CDK1 before the onset of mitosis by mediating phosphorylation of CDK1 on 'Tyr-15' (PubMed:15070733, PubMed:7743995, PubMed:8348613, PubMed:8428596). Specifically phosphorylates and inactivates cyclin B1-complexed CDK1 reaching a maximum during G2 phase and a minimum as cells enter M phase (PubMed:7743995, PubMed:8348613, PubMed:8428596). Phosphorylation of cyclin B1-CDK1 occurs exclusively on 'Tyr-15' and phosphorylation of monomeric CDK1 does not occur (PubMed:7743995, PubMed:8348613, PubMed:8428596). Its activity increases during S and G2 phases and decreases at M phase when it is hyperphosphorylated (PubMed:7743995). A correlated decrease in protein level occurs at M/G1 phase, probably due to its degradation (PubMed:7743995). |

Background
WEE1 is a nuclear protein, which is a tyrosine kinase belonging to the Ser/Thr family of protein kinases. This protein catalyzes the inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylation of CDC2/cyclin B kinase, and appears to coordinate the transition between DNA replication and mitosis by protecting the nucleus from cytoplasmically activated CDC2 kinase.
