The gene BRCA1 is mapped to human chromosome 17q21 and codes for a protein with zinc finger motif and a set of acidic residues. BRCA1 is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Immunogen
BRCA1 protein fragment expressed in E. coli corresponding to amino acids 341-748.
Application
Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: WB: 1:500-1:3000, ICC/IF: 1:100-1:1000, IHC, IP, ChIP. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user.
Biochem/physiol Actions
BRCA1-6B4 recognizes full length BRCA1, a 220 kDa nuclear phosphoprotein, and does not recognize the exon 11 splice variant. Mutations in this tumor suppressor gene greatly increase the risk of breast cancer. In a high proportion of breast and ovarian cancer cell lines, BRCA1 aberrantly mislocates to the cytoplasm. Recent studies suggest a role for BRCA1 in DNA double strand break repair because of its association with Rad51. BRCA1 is predominantly expressed in proliferating and differentiating cells and contributes to cellular growth.

DNA damage response (DDR) in ribosomal genes and mechanisms of DNA repair in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are less explored nuclear events. DDR in ESCs should be unique due to their high proliferation rate, expression of pluripotency factors, and specific

ADP-ribosylation is an important posttranslational protein modification that regulates diverse biological processes, controlled by dedicated transferases and hydrolases. Here, we show that frequent deletions (∼30%) of the MACROD2 mono-ADP-ribosylhydrolase locus in human colorectal cancer cause impaired PARP1 transferase activity in
