RP-4964 has been successfully used in Western blot proceedures. It is specific for the ~35 kDa Rad51 protein.
The Human gene Rad51 is homologous to the highly conserved bacterial gene RecA.
RP-4964 is highly purified from E. coli over-expressing human Rad51 protein as a recombinant protein. The tag was removed from the recombinant protein (though it still contains Gly-Ser-His at the N-terminal). The protein has been shown to retain nuclear filament forming and strand-exchange activity as well as interaction with Rad52. RP-4964 was confirmed to possess single strand DNA stimulated ATPase activity.
RAD51 plays a critical role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recobination. It binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. RAD51 catalyzes the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template. It binds to a single-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to form nucleoprotein filaments which are essential for the homology search and strand exchange. Mutations in the gene can results in breast cancer, mirror movements 2 and fanconi anemia.
