General description

Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) protein is a multifunctional and structure-specific nuclease. The FEN1 gene is located on the human chromosome at 11q12.2.

Immunogen

Flap endonuclease 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Anti-FEN1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting[1] (1:250)[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is involved in the maturation of Okazaki fragments during the synthesis of DNA lagging strands and long-patch DNA-base excision repair due to its flap-specific endonuclease (FEN) activity. It possesses 5′ exonuclease activity for processing DNA ends during DNA recombination. FEN1 plays a role in maintaining genomic stability by preserving telomere stability. Overexpression of the FEN1 gene is observed in testis, brain, and lung tumors. Mutations in the FEN1 gene are associated with several human cancers.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Functional deficiency of the FEN1 gene has been suggested to cause genomic instability and cancer predisposition. We have identified a group of FEN1 mutations in human cancer specimens. Most of these mutations abrogated two of three nuclease activities of flap

Previous studies have investigated the associations between FEN1 -69G>A (rs174538) and 4150G>T (rs4246215) polymorphisms and cancer risk in Chinese population. However, the results were controversial. We therefore carried out a meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the associations.
FEN1 is overexpressed in testis, lung and brain tumors.
