Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a nuclear protein, is expressed ubiquitously in mammals. This homotrimer protein is a doughnut-shaped molecule that is expressed at high levels in the thymus, bone marrow, fetal liver, and few cells of the small intestine and colon. PCNA is mainly located in the nucleus. The PCNA gene is a single-copy gene mapped to human chromosome 20p13.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human PCNA
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) participates in DNA replication and repair. It acts as an auxiliary factor of polymerase δ. It plays a key role in the maturation of Okazaki fragments. It can be used as a prognostic and diagnostic marker in chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL). High expression of PCNA protein is seen in breast and duodenal cancers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of colon cancer stem cells (CSCs) during chemicallyinduced rat multi-step colon carcinogenesis with or without the treatment with a specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor drug (celecoxib). Two experiments were performed, the first
: Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an essential factor in DNA replication and repair. It forms a homotrimeric ring that embraces the DNA and slides along it, anchoring DNA polymerases and other DNA editing enzymes. It also interacts with
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common urinary system cancer with high morbidity and mortality rate. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly aggressive and common type of RCC. More and effective therapeutic targets are badly needed for
Although proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) plays an important role in tumor proliferation and its expression level is closely related to the biological activity of tumor cells, PCNA expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been seldom reported. In
Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy with low terminal cure rate, and therefore new therapeutic targets are urgently needed to combat this disease. SMYD2, as an oncogene, is abnormal highly expressed in multiple types of tumors and further
