Gene Information

human ... BRCA2(675)

General description

Breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) is mapped to human chromosome 13q12-q13. The protein encoded by this gene is characterized with BRC repeats in exon 11 and a highly conserved radiation sensitive protein 51 (RAD51) binding domain in exon 27.

Immunogen

breast cancer 2, early onset recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aberration in the breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) increases the risk for susceptibility of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. BRCA2 is a vital element of DNA response pathway. BRCA2, on interaction with RAD51 gene, plays a role in DNA damage repair and homologous recombination. Loss of this action leads to cancer development.

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.

Human papillomavirus induced (HPV+) cancer incidence is rapidly rising, comprising 60-80% of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs); while rare, recurrent/metastatic disease accounts for nearly all related deaths. An in vivo pre-clinical model for these invasive cancers is necessary for testing
