Cyclin T1 Antibody

Cyclin T1 is a regulatory subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase pair (CDK9/cyclin-T1) complex, also called positive transcription elongation factor B (P-TEFb), which is proposed to facilitate the transition from abortive to productive elongation by phosphorylating the CTD (carboxy-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). In case of HIV or SIV infections, Cyclin T1 binds to the transactivation domain of the viral nuclear transcriptional activator, Tat, thereby increasing Tat's affinity for the transactivating response RNA element (TAR RNA) [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/O60563].

Alternative names for Cyclin T1 Antibody include CycT1 antibody, Cylin-T antibody, CCNT1 antibody.
