For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 µg, 10 µg and 20 µg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 µL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.
Protein Form: Recombinant, Full Length
The trimeric complex of CDK7, cyclin H and MNAT1, functions as a Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). It is an essential component of the transcription factor TFIIH, that is involved in transcription initiation and DNA repair. This complex is thought to serve as a direct link between the regulation of transcription and the cell cycle. The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). CDK7 may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations.
