Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets cyclin-A2 (gene CCNA2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 48.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 55 kDa.
Cyclin A2 (CCNA2) is an essential cell cycle regulator that activates CDK2 during S phase and CDK1 at the G2/M transition. It helps drive DNA replication and entry into mitosis, and because its levels track cell proliferation, it is a common proliferation marker in cell cycle and cancer research.

Immunogen
Recombinant human Cyclin A2 fragment (Ala10–Lys168), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 74.5%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places cyclin-A2 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
