Anti-MDM2 antibody ,Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-MDM2 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the HDM2-323 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice. MDM2 (the human homologue of Mdm2, a 90 kDa molecule), is a transcriptional target of p53.

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 389-402 of human MDM2 conjugated to KLH.

Anti-MDM2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in western blotting and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

MDM2 functions in the activation of p53 resulting in MDM2 expression, which consequently inhibits p53 transcriptional function. MDM2 accomplishes this inhibition in two ways: because of its physical interaction with p53, MDM2 both represses p53 transcriptional activity and mediates the degradation of p53. Overexpression of MDM2 results in reduced quantities of coexpressed p53, and disruption of the p53-MDM2 interaction by mutation results in both activation and accumulation of p53. MDM2 protein has been shown to activate cell proliferation by stimulating the S-phase-inducing transcription factors, E2F1/DP1.5 The amplification of the MDM2 gene has been demonstrated in various human neoplasms.
