Anti-hABH2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hABH2-7 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide of human hABH2, conjugated to KLH. Human alkB homolog 1, histone H2A dioxygenase (hABH2) shares homology with the AlkB protein in bacteria. hABH2 localizes to the nucleoplasm and occasionally to the nucleoli.
Application
Mouse Monoclonal Anti-hABH2 antibody has been used for western blot assays. The antibody can also be used for IHC, ELISA, microarray, and immunoprecipitation studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Removal of the methyl groups of 1-methyladenine (1-meA) and 3-methylcystosine (3-meC) to their unmodified forms is done by human alkB homolog 1, histone H2A dioxygenase (hABH2) and hABH3. hABH2 acts on double stranded DNA.
hABH2 is a Fe (II) dependent dioxygenase involved in the repair of alkylation-induced damage in double stranded DNA. Alterations in hABH2 have been linked to pediatric brain tumor and gastric cancer.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Methyl or 1, N(6) -ethenoadenine base lesions are frequent and highly-mutagenic or -carcinogenic events in mammalian DNA. Human AlkB homologue-2 (hABH2), a homologue of the Escherichia coli AlkB protein, has been found to be the principal dioxygenase for the repair

Alkylating agents, commonly used for brain tumor therapy, induce DNA and RNA lesions that, if not repaired, drive cells to apoptosis. Thus, cellular mechanisms that are responsible for nucleic acid repair are possibly involved in drug resistance. This work analyzes
