This peptide corresponds to 17 amino amino terminus of human Chk2.
PEP-0096 can be used as a blocking peptide with polyclonal antibody PA5-19971.
CHEK2 (CHK2) is a serine/threonine kinase and a component of the DNA damage checkpoint pathway. A mutation in CHK2 has been linked to cancer. CHK2 is activated by DNA damage and phosphorylates several modulators of cell cycle control including tumor suppressor proteins. In addition, Chk2 can phosphorylate BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage. Chk2 is a putative tumor suppressor protein, with mutations in to the Chk2 gene linked to Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a familiar cancer usually associated with inherited mutations in TP53. Also, mutations in CHK2 are thought to confer a predisposition to sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors.
