Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein(BRCA1) detection. Tested with WB in Human. No cross reactivity with other proteins. BRCA1, mapped to 17q21.3, is also known as BRCC1. This gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). BRCA1 product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. In addition to it, BRCA1 may normally serve as a negative regulator of mammary epithelial cell growth and that this function is compromised in breast cancer either by direct mutation or by alterations in gene expression.
Immunogen
E.coli-derived human BRCA1 recombinant protein (Position: T1681-E1781). Human BRCA1 shares 73.3% and 74.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat BRCA1, respectively.
