Ki-67 (Antigen Identified by Monoclonal Antibody Ki-67, KIA, MKI67, Proliferation Related Ki-67 Antigen)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Cancer Markers

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in Tris-citrate/phosphate, pH 7.5, 0.09% sodium azide.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal portion (within residues 1600-1700) of mouse Ki-67 protein (Q61769).
Cellular Localization: Nuclear

Ki67 antigen is the prototypic cell cycle related nuclear protein, expressed by proliferating cells in all phases of the active cell cycle (G1, S, G2 and M phase). It is absent in resting (G0) cells. Ki67 antibodies are useful in establishing the cell growing fraction in neoplasms. In neoplastic tissues the prognostic value is comparable to the tritiated thymidine-labelling index. The correlation between low Ki67 index and histologically low-grade tumors is strong. Ki67 is routinely used as a neuronal marker of cell cycling and proliferation.
