Description

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that performs several important functions throughout M phase of the cell cycle, including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly, the removal of cohesins from chromosome arms, the inactivation of anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) inhibitors, and the regulation of mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Polo-like kinase proteins acts by binding and phosphorylating proteins are that already phosphorylated on a specific motif recognized by the POLO box domains.

POE125A is able to detect human and mouse Plk1 protein in immunocytochemistry
To confirm that POE125A mAb recognizes human and mouse PLK1 protein, immunocytochemistry on frozen cytospin preparations of GFP-tagged hPLK1 and mPLK1 expressed in HEK293T cell line was performed
