Clone REA433 recognizes the human retinoblastoma (Rb) antigen phosphorylated at serine 780 (pS780). The Rb protein is a tumor suppressor that plays a pivotal role in the negative control of the cell cycle and in tumor progression. It has been shown that Rb is responsible for a major G1 checkpoint, blocking S-phase entry, and cell growth. Loss of Rb functions may induce cell cycle deregulation, leading to a malignant phenotype. Rb negatively regulates transcription by forming complexes with members of the E2F transcription factor family. These complexes, when bound to E2F sites within certain t
