• Target description: G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-B1 (UniProt: P14635; also known as Cyclin B1) is encoded by the CCNB1 (also known as CCNB) gene (Gene ID: 891) in human. Cyclins are the regulatory subunits of the cell cycle-dependent kinases (CDKs) that are responsible for the phosphorylation of several cellular targets. Cyclins contain the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that help move CDKs into the nucleus. They also contain PEST (Pro, Glu, Ser, and Thr) sequences that target them for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway. Once the CDKSs have completed their role, they undergo a rapid programmed proteolysis via ubiquitin-mediated delivery to the proteasome complex. Cyclin B1, a regulatory protein involved in mitosis, complexes with CDK1 to form the maturation-promoting factor (MPF). It is shown to be essential for the control of the cell cycle at the G2/M (mitosis) transition. It accumulates steadily during G2 phase and is abruptly destroyed at mitosis. Hence, the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex is considered to be a key regulator for mitotic entry. This complex phosphorylates a number of proteins prior to mitotic entry. Although five serine phosphorylation sites are described for cyclin B1, (Ser 116, 126, 128, 133, and 147), serine 133 phosphorylation by PLK1 regulates the entry of Cyclin B1-CDK1 complex into the nucleus during prophase. At the end of mitosis, cyclin B1 is rapidly removed by a ubiquitin ligase (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome) loaded with the targeting subunit CDC20. Activated cyclin B1-CDK1 complex is reported to catalyze its own destruction by stimulating the activity of APC. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
