Description
Recombinant full-length human p19INK4D was expressed in E. coli cells using an N-terminal GST tag.
Scientific Background: p19INK4D protein is associated with CDK6 in several hematopoietic cell lines. It has been demonstrated that p19INK4D expression enhances cell survival under genotoxic conditions (1). By using p19INK4D-overexpressing cells, it has been demonstrated that p19INK4D expression correlates with the cellular resistance to UV treatment with increased DNA repair activity against UV-induced lesions. p19INK4D regulates protein network that integrate DNA repair, apoptosis and checkpoint mechanisms in order to maintain the genomic integrity (2)
