RAD51, His•Tag^®, Pneumocystis carinii, Recombinant, E. coli

Recombinant, Pneumocystis carinii RAD51 fused at the N-terminus to a His•Tag sequence and expressed in E. coli. The Pneumocystis carinii RAD51 is equivalent to bacterial RecA and the homologue of yeast RAD51. It plays a pivotal role in the homologous recombination pathway for DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. RAD51 has been shown to colocalize with tumor suppressor proteins BRCA1 (Cat. No. 203659) and BRCA2 in DNA-damage-induced foci and RAD51 is known to interact directly with BRCA2.

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

In 100 mM KCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mM EDTA, 20% glycerol, pH 8.0.

One unit equals 1 ng of purified protein. 20 units are sufficient for a DNA-protein assay and 100 units are sufficient for a protein-protein interaction assay.
