Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (96%), Rat (96%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-65388. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
CDK8 phosphorylates the carboxy-terminal domain of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. This protein is coexpressed and copurified with Cyclin C. CDK8 is part of a family of proteins designated as cdks are critical regulators of cell cycle progression. The prototype member of this family, p34/Cdc 2, and a related protein Cdk 2, function late in the cycle while Cdk 4 and Cdk 6 are critically involved in G1 to S progression. Because of analogy with yeast Cdk 8, it has been proposed that the human Cdk 8 Cyclin C may interact with RNA polymerase, thus influencing the transcription mechanism(s) that lead to cell division.
