G2/mitotic-specific cyclin-B1 (Cyclin B1) is a key component in the control of cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase and has been implicated in the tumorigenesis and the development of malignancy. Under DNA damage conditions, Cyclin B1 becomes upregulated, presumably already in the DNA replication phase (S-phase). This upregulation is controlled by SOG1, which in turn is activated by the checkpoint kinases ATM and ATR, which sense DNA damage. Cyclin B1/CDK1 regulate mitochondrial bioenergetics for cell cycle progression and tumor response to therapy. Cyclin B1 is associated with breast, colorectal, ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancer.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Human Total Cyclin B1 Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of total Cyclin B1 in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
