Target Information
| Target information | Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4A, also known as CDKN2A or p16, is a cell cycle regulatory protein that inhibits CDK4 and CDK6 activity. p16INK4A is closely associated with RB pathway regulation, G1 cell cycle control, cellular senescence, growth arrest, and tumor suppressor biology. Its role in proliferation control makes p16INK4A widely studied in cell cycle research and cancer biology. MtoZ Biolabs offers IP-MS Validated CDKN2A/P16-INK4A Polyclonal Antibody for immunoprecipitation-based enrichment of p16INK4A-containing protein material prior to downstream mass spectrometry analysis. As a CDKN2A/P16-INK4A Polyclonal antibody validated by IP-MS, this product supports users seeking a CDKN2A/P16-INK4A IP antibody, a p16INK4A antibody for immunoprecipitation, or a CDKN2A/P16-INK4A antibody in IP-MS workflows. The polyclonal antibody format may be used in LC-MS/MS sample preparation for cell cycle and senescence-related protein studies. |

Antibody Validation Levels
To support different research goals, budgets, and evidence requirements, our antibodies are available with multiple validation levels. Each antibody undergoes IP-MS validation before delivery to confirm target-specific recognition and enrichment. For projects requiring additional confirmation, Western blot validation can be added to provide orthogonal evidence of target detection.
| Validation level | Included validation | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| IP-MS Only | Confirms target-specific enrichment by immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis. | IP-based protein enrichment and target specificity assessment. |
| Western Blot Only | Confirms target detection by Western blot under defined experimental conditions. | Routine target detection and expression-level assessment. |
| IP-MS + Western Blot | Combines mass spectrometry-based target enrichment evidence with Western blot-based detection evidence. | Customers requiring more comprehensive validation support. |
