Product Description

This antibody does not react with human or Golden hamster. Armenian hamster has not been tested. In humans, the multiple tumor suppressor 1 locus (MTS1) encodes two unrelated genes, p16INK4a and p19ARF. Although both act as cell proliferation inhibitors, their mechanisms of action are different. p19ARF works as part of a p53-dependent pathway to counter uncontrolled proliferation and oncogenic signals. Mice lacking the p19ARF gene rapidly develop a broad spectrum of tumors. This result indicates that p19ARF is an important tumor suppressor. In addition, p19ARF helps prevent transforming signals from various onocoproteins via the p53 regulatory loop. These studies and others display the importance of p19ARF in cell cycle control and tumor suppression.
