p21WAF1, also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 or CDK-interacting protein 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDKN1A gene located on chromosome 6 (6p21.2). May be the important intermediate by which p53/TP53 mediates its role as an inhibitor of cellular proliferation in response to DNA damage. Binds to and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase activity, preventing phosphorylation of critical cyclin-dependent kinase substrates and blocking cell cycle progression. Functions in the nuclear localization and assembly of cyclin D-CDK4 complex and promotes its kinase activity towards RB1. At higher stoichiometric ratios, inhibits the kinase activity of the cyclin D-CDK4 complex. p21 is expressed in all adult human tissues. In tumors, the expression of p21 has been studied by immunohistochemical methods in a wide range of human tumors, such as gastric carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and thyroid carcinoma. The expression of p21 is associated with favorable prognosis in various tumors.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human thyroid cancer tissue with Mouse anti-p21 antibody (HA601221) at 1/200 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) (high pressure) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA601221) at 1/200 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
