Technical:tech@swbio.com
Information:info@swbio.com
Description
- Swiss-Prot No.:
- Swiss-Prot: P16104
NCBI Protein: NP_002096.1
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied at 1.0mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
- Storage:
- Store at -20°C for long term preservation (recommended). Store at 4°C for short term use.
- Immunogen:
- Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of serine 139 (Q-A-S(p)-Q-E) derived from Human Histone H2A.X.
- other_names:
- H2A.X; H2AFX; H2a/x; HIST5-2AX;
- Purification:
- Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide.
- Specificity:
- The antibody detects endogenous level of Histone H2A.X only when phosphorylated at serine 139.
- Background:
Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Required for checkpoint-mediated arrest of cell cycle progression in response to low doses of ionizing radiation and for efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) specifically when modified by C-terminal phosphorylation.
