Monoclonal Anti-PNK (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma H101.5 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a human polynucleotide kinase 3′-phosphatase (PNK) recombinant protein. PNK comprises of a central phosphatase domain that is flanked by an N-terminal forkhead-associated (FHA) domain and a C-terminal kinase domain on either sides.
Immunogen
human PNK recombinant protein.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-PNK antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PNK is a mammalian DNA repair enzyme which catalyzes the phosphorylation of DNA 5′-hydroxyl termini and the dephosphorylation of 3′-phosphate termini. PNK is involved in the single-strand break repair pathway and the non-homologous end joining pathway for double strand break repair. Mutations in PNK result in neurological abnormalities.
Polynucleotide kinase 3′-phosphatase (PNKP or PNK) is a nuclear protein that repairs DNA strand breaks induced by oxidative damage or ionizing radiation. Genetic alterations in PNKP have been linked to seizures, microcephaly and deficiencies in DNA repair mechanisms .
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The cytotoxicity of many antineoplastic agents is due to their capacity to damage DNA and there is evidence indicating that DNA repair contributes to the cellular resistance to such agents. DNA strand breaks constitute a significant proportion of the lesions

Mammalian polynucleotide kinases catalyze the 5'-phosphorylation of nucleic acids and can have associated 3'-phosphatase activity, predictive of an important function in DNA repair following ionizing radiation or oxidative damage.
