- Description of Target:
- RAD51 is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are highly similar to bacterial RecA and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51, and are known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein can interact with the ssDNA-binding protein RPA and RAD52, and it is thought to play roles in homologous pairing and strand transfer of DNA. This protein is also found to interact with BRCA1 and BRCA2, which may be important for the cellular response to DNA damage. BRCA2 is shown to regulate both the intracellular localization and DNA-binding ability of this protein. Loss of these controls following BRCA2 inactivation may be a key event leading to genomic instability and tumorigenesis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode distinct proteins, have been reported. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyA signals exist.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family.

| Please include your detailed WB Procedure/Protocol here: | 293Tcells were washed with PBS buffer and lysed with RIPA buffer (1x PBS, 1% IP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS). After 1h incubation on ice, cellular mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant was collected. Equivalent amounts (approximately 20µg) of prepared cellular extracts were separated on a 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Bio-rad). The membranes were probed with Mus81 antibody followed by anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. The signals were detected using ECL-Plus (Amersham). To confirm equal loading, blots were stripped with stripping solution (Chemicon) and reprobed with anti-β-tubulin antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). |
