PFTAIRE Subfamily Selectivity (vs CDK14/16) Human CDK15, CDK16, CDK14 Kinase Domains available with >95% purity, Sequence Verified for parallel screening.
PROTAC Degradation Assays High-purity recombinant proteins validated for E3 ligase ternary complex formation (SPR/BLI).
ATP-Competitive Inhibitor Screening High-purity Kinase proteins with confirmed Theoretical MW; suitable for TR-FRET and ADP-Glo biochemical assays.
Drug Resistance Mutation Analysis CDK15 Gatekeeper Mutant proteins available; Sequence Verified for resistance mechanism studies.
Target Engagement in Neuronal Models CDK15 Lentivirus for stable cell line construction; Endotoxin <1EU/ug. Preserves native folding for CETSA/MSA.
Lack of Valid Controls Sequence-verified benchmark antibodies and validated siRNA included for specificity checks.

Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for CDK therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional cell cycle CDKs (like CDK4/6) to novel transcriptional and atypical CDKs such as CDK15 (a member of the PFTAIRE subfamily). As first-generation broad-spectrum kinase inhibitors face toxicity hurdles, the next wave of R&D is targeting highly selective small molecules and PROTAC degraders specifically designed for CDK15 to overcome TRAIL resistance in solid tumors. Emerging evidence also points to CDK15's role in neuronal models, expanding the potential indication scope beyond oncology.
