Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2) is multifunctional player in the DNA-damage response signalling pathway, especially at the S and G2 checkpoints of cell cycle. The protein consits of three functional domains. The T-terminal SQ/TQ cluster (SCD motif), the forkhead associated domain (FHA) and the kinase domain. Following DNA damage, ATM or ATR kinase phosphorylates CHK2 at the SCD motif.  Thereafter dimerization and autophosphorylation takes place. Activated CHK2 phosphorylates e.g. Cdc25A, B, and C and E2F-1 and causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Affinity-purified recombinant human checkpoint homologue kinase (CHK2) expressed in insect cells featuring an affinity tag.
