pp1a, rabbit anti protein phosphatase 1 alpha,The antibody is suitable to detect p16 in different tissues. Staining results may be cytoplasmatic or nuclear. Nuclear staining should be more specific. Human p16 INK4a (syn. CDKN2, MTS-1) protein is an inhibitor of Cyclin-Dependent-Kinases 4 and 6 (cdk4/cdk6). CDK4 is an important enzyme for the progression of the cell cycle during the G1-Phase. By it's inhibitory action p16 is an important regulator in the cell cycle. The gen encoding for p16 is deleted in many tumour cell lines. In adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri usually p16 levels are increased. Endocervical p16-overexpression is mostly associated with "high risk" HPV-Typing. In other tumour types as squamous epithelial carcinoma in cervix uteri and head and neck carcinoma p16 expression usually is reduced.
