    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-Rad50 (Ser635) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of Rad50 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser635.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser635 of human Rad50 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The DNA repair protein Rad50 is a member of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family and plays an important role in cell cycle checkpoint signaling and double-strand break repair in response to DNA damage (1-4). Rad50 forms a complex with Mre11 and NBS1 that becomes activated in response to DNA damage (3). In normal human cells, the MRN complex acts to tether linear DNA molecules, providing a flexible link between DNA ends (1). Genomic instability and cancer have been shown to develop in cells with genetic mutations affecting the proteins in the MRN complex (2). ATM-dependent phosphorylation of Rad50 at Ser635 in response to DNA damage is important in regulating downstream signaling, DNA repair, and checkpoint control (5).

    Alternate Names

    DNA repair protein RAD50; hRAD50; NBSLD; RAD50; RAD50 double strand break repair protein; RAD50 homolog (S. cerevisiae); RAD50 homolog, double strand break repair protein; RAD50-2; RAD502
