Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 5(XRCC5) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human;Mouse;Rat.

XRCC5 (X-ray Repair,Complementing Defective ,In Chinese Hamster, 5), also known as Ku80 or Ku86, is a protein that in humans, is encoded by the XRCC5 gene. The XRCC5 gene encodes the 80-kD subunit of the Ku autoantigen, a heterodimer which contributes to genomic integrity through its ability to bind DNA double-strand breaks and facilitate repair by the nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. The XRCC5 gene is mapped to 2q35. Human colon cancer cells heterozygous for Ku86 are haploinsufficient with an increase in polyploid cells, a reduction in cell proliferation, elevated p53 levels, and a slight hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. Functional inactivation of the second Ku86 allele results in cells with a drastically reduced doubling time. The Ku86 locus is essential in human somatic tissue culture cells by experiments demonstration. A rare microsatellite polymorphism in XRCC5 is associated with cancer in patients of varying radiosensitivity.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3.

WB: The detection limit for Ku80 is approximately 0.1ng/lane under reducing conditions.
Tested Species: In-house tested species with positive results.
By Heat: Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 20mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections.
Other applications have not been tested.
Optimal dilutions should be determined by end users.
