Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

BACH1/BRIP1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of human BACH1 protein.

Source / Purification

BACH1/BRIP1 Antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human BACH1. Antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

BACH1, also known as BRIP1 and FANCJ, is a DNA helicase involved in repair of DNA cross-links and double strand breaks (1-3). Interaction between phosphorylated BACH1 and BRCA1 is required for DNA damage-induced checkpoint signaling (3,4). Originally identified as a breast cancer susceptibility gene (1), the BACH1 gene is mutated in Fanconi anemia (5), a recessive disorder characterized by multiple congenital abnormalities, progressive bone marrow failure and high cancer risk/predisposition. The interaction with BRCA1 and the existence of mutations in patients with early onset breast cancer indicate that BACH1 may act as a tumor suppressor.
