AHP1060 detects an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A). CDKN2A is a 16kD protein which belongs to the CDKN2 cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor family. It acts as a negative regulator of cell proliferation by interacting strongly with CDK4 and CDK6, thus inhibiting their ability to interact with cyclin D and to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein. CDKN2A is an important tumour suppressor and defects in its production results in tumour formation in a wide range of tissues, including cutaneous malignant melanoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
