Gene Information

human ... PALB2(79728)

General description

Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) gene with 13 exons is mapped to human chromosome 16p12.2. The gene codes for a 1,186 amino acid protein characterized with a coiled-coil motif at the N terminus and a C-terminal domain containing a series of WD repeats.

Immunogen

PALB2 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human PALB2.

Application

Anti-PALB2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) plays a vital role in BRCA2 (breast cancer 2, early onset)-related pathways. The breast cancer early onset proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2 are central to the repair of DNA damage by homologous recombination and are strongly associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancer. The protein PALB2 is required for the localization of BRCA2 to sites of DNA damage and like BRCA1 and 2 is a breast cancer susceptibility gene. PALB2 is thought to function through directly binding to BRCA1, which allows the PALB2 protein to organize BRCA2 and the recombinase RAD51 at the site of DNA damage. Analysis of the BRCA1-PALB2-BRCA2-RAD51 network may allow predictions to be made of the responsiveness of a tumor to therapeutic treatments. At least four isoforms of PALB2 are known to exist.

RAD51, a key factor in homology-directed repair (HDR), has long been considered an attractive target for cancer therapy, but few specific inhibitors have been found. A cell-penetrating, anti-DNA, lupus autoantibody, 3E10, was previously shown to inhibit HDR, sensitize tumors to
