We provide a comprehensive Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) Panel Screening Service to support investigations into cell cycle control and its role in disease. This service includes a variety of assays focused on key CDK proteins, enabling evaluation of their activity, expression, and response to potential inhibitors. Leveraging advanced technologies and in-depth analysis, we deliver actionable insights to drive research in cancer, developmental biology, and other fields where CDKs are critically involved. Our aim is to contribute to your scientific progress with results that are accurate, dependable, and delivered on time.

Service Background

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle and are involved in essential cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Through phosphorylation of target proteins, CDKs, in partnership with cyclins, drive cell cycle progression. Aberrant CDK activity is closely associated with a variety of diseases, particularly cancer, making them prominent targets in drug development. Our CDK Panel Screening Service offers a robust, high-throughput platform for assessing CDK activity and inhibition across diverse experimental models.

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) Panel Screening Service at Creative Biolabs

We offer:

Our CDK Panel Screening Service offers a broad range of assays to assess the inhibition and activity of multiple CDK isoforms, including but not limited to:

• CDK1 – A key regulator of the G2/M transition in the cell cycle.
• CDK2 – Essential for the G1/S transition and DNA replication.
• G1 phase regulators and essential for cell cycle progression include CDK4 and CDK6.
• A part of the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) complex, CDK7 plays a crucial role in transcription and cell cycle control.
• CDK9: Contributes to RNA polymerase II's transcriptional elongation.

We provide both activity assays (to measure the kinase activity) and inhibition assays (to test potential inhibitors) for each CDK in the panel. Additionally, we offer detailed data analysis, including IC50 calculations, enzyme kinetics, and the profiling of compound effects.
