Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2) is a serine-threonine kinase and an integral member of the signaling cascade that controls the G1 cell cycle checkpoint. CHK2 is activated in response to DNA double-strand breaks and phosphorylates several modulators of cell cycle control including tumor suppressor proteins and prevents unchecked cell division. Mutations in CHK2 are linked to a wide range of cancers, such as breast, lung, prostate, kidney, and thyroid. 

The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Total CHK2 assay is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of Total CHK2 in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
