Monoclonal Anti-BRCA1 antibody produced in mouse

The gene BRCA1 is mapped to human chromosome 17q21 and codes for a protein with zinc finger motif and a set of acidic residues. BRCA1 is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm.

BRCA1 protein fragment expressed in E. coli corresponding to amino acids 341-748.

Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: WB: 1:500-1:3000, ICC/IF: 1:100-1:1000, IHC, IP, ChIP. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user.

BRCA1-6B4 recognizes full length BRCA1, a 220 kDa nuclear phosphoprotein, and does not recognize the exon 11 splice variant. Mutations in this tumor suppressor gene greatly increase the risk of breast cancer. In a high proportion of breast and ovarian cancer cell lines, BRCA1 aberrantly mislocates to the cytoplasm. Recent studies suggest a role for BRCA1 in DNA double strand break repair because of its association with Rad51. BRCA1 is predominantly expressed in proliferating and differentiating cells and contributes to cellular growth.
