Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (gene CDK6) in human and rat samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 36.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 39 kDa.
CDK6 is a serine/threonine kinase that forms complexes with D-type cyclins to phosphorylate RB1 and move cells from G1 into S phase. Besides its cell cycle role it influences differentiation, particularly in blood cell development, and it is a key target in cancer research alongside CDK4.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human intestinal cancer tissue, human mammary cancer tissue, human tonsil tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human cdk6. The peptide sequence is conserved in mouse.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and rat. UniProt places cyclin-dependent kinase 6 in the cytoplasm, nucleus and cell projection. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed ubiquitously. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
