Designing a Western blot for Cyclin-dependent kinase 7? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the CDK7 Western Blot GuideFacts about Cyclin-dependent kinase 7.
Each different complex controls a specific transition between two subsequent phases in the cell cycle. Required for both activation and complex formation of CDK1/cyclin-B during G2-M transition, and for activation of CDK2/cyclins during G1-S transition (although not complex formation).
