Overview:
The neuronal protein kinase, CDK5 is implicated in a vast array of normal neuronal functions including regulation of neurotransmitter synthesis (1), the presynaptic vesicle cycle (2), neurotransmitter receptor trafficking, and dopamine neurotransmission (3). CDK5 is active as a heterodimer with a 25 kDa protein. The 25 kDa protein is derived proteolytically from a 35 kDa brain and neuron-specific precursor protein (4). CDK5 phosphorylates a diverse list of substrates and has been implicated in a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, which include Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and drug addiction (5).

Sample Data:
Anti-CDK5 antibody was diluted 1:500 to detect CDK5 in human brain cortex tissue. Tissue was formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. No pre-treatment of sample was required. The image shows the localization of antibody as the precipitated red signal, with a hematoxylin purple nuclear counter stain.
