Cyclin dependent kinase 4

Manufactured by Proteintech
Sourced in China, United States

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cell cycle. It is responsible for the phosphorylation of various substrates, including the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which is a key regulator of the G1/S phase transition. CDK4 forms a complex with cyclin D, and this complex is essential for the progression of the cell cycle from the G1 phase to the S phase.

Bortezomib and Small-Molecule Inhibitors in Cell Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bortezomib was purchased from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA). For in vitro studies, the drug was reconstituted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a stock concentration of 1 mM and stored at −80°C. The small‐molecule inhibitors MKC3946 and GSK2606414 were bought from MedChemExpress (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA). The stock solution for MKC3946 and GSK2606414 was prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and stored at −20°C. The antibodies against p21Cip1, p27Kip1, X‐box‐binding protein 1 (Xbp1s), activating transcription factor 6 (Atf6), 78 kDa glucose‐regulated protein (Grp78), C/EBP homologous protein (Chop), cyclin D3, cyclin E1, cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and β‐actin were obtained from Proteintech (Wuhan, Hubei, China), and the antibody against activating transcription factor 4 (Atf4) was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA). All other chemicals were obtained from Sigma‐Aldrich (Burlington, MA, USA) unless otherwise specified.

Mouse VSMC Protein Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse VSMCs were pulverized in RIPA buffer (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) and sonicated to disrupt the integrity of cell membranes and extract total proteins. Whole cell lysates were then centrifuged at 4000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. Total protein was quantified using the Bradford method. Total protein (20 µg per lane) was separated by 8% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. Other steps were performed as described previously (14 (link)). USP39 (cat. no. ab131244; 1:1,000; Abcam), cyclin D1 (cat. no. 60186-1-Ig; 1:1,000; ProteinTech Group, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4; cat. no. 11026-1-AP; 1:1,000; ProteinTech Group, Inc.) antibodies were used as primary antibodies. β-tubulin antibody (cat. no. 10094-1-AP; ProteinTech Group, Inc.) was used to ensure equal loading quantities of protein samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
