General description

RAD50 (previously known as DNA repair protein RAD50) is homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50 and is a member of the structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) family and is involved in cell growth and viability. RAD50 is known to encode 2 distinct proteins. The RAD50, XRS2/NBS1 complex is required for activation of ATM which will phosphorylate TERF1, thereby promoting telomerase. Along with MRE11 and NBN, RAD50 also forms the MRE11–RAD50–NBS1 (MRN) complex, which is one of the first factors to be localized to the DNA lesion, where it might initially have a structural role by tethering together, and therefore stabilizing, broken chromosomes. MRN also controls ATR, which is required for SMC1A phosphorylation, resulting in chromatid adhesion and DNA damage response. RAD50 is expressed in all tissue but predominantly in the testis and fibroblasts.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes RAD50.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to RAD50.

Application

Immunocytochemistry:
A 1:500 dilution of this antibody was used to detect RAD50 on HeLa and A431 cells.
Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function
Research Sub Category
Transcription Factors
Use Anti-RAD50 Antibody (Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody) validated in ICC, WB to detect RAD50 also known as RAD50 (S. cerevisiae) homolog.

Quality

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:500 dilution of this antibody was used to detect RAD50 on human spleen lysate.

Target description

~154 kDa

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal antibody precipitated in a solution of 50% saturated ammonium sulfate and PBS containing no preservatives.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8ºC from date of receipt.
To reconstitute the antibody, centrifuge the antibody at a moderate speed (5,000 rpm) for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the ammonium sulfate/PBS buffer solution and discard; 10μL of residual ammonium sulfate solution will not affect the re-suspension of the antibody. Do not let the protein pellet dry, as severe loss of antibody reactivity can occur. Re-suspend the antibody pellet in 100L either standard PBS or TBS (pH 7.3-7.5). DO NOT VORTEX. Mix by gentle stirring with a wide pipet tip or gentle finger-tapping. Let the precipitated antibody rehydrate for 1 hour at 4-25°C prior to use. Small particles of precipitated antibody that fail to re-suspend are normal. Vials are overfilled to compensate for any losses.

Analysis Note

Control
Human spleen lysate.

Faithful chromosome segregation is required for preserving genomic integrity. Failure of this process may entail chromatin bridges preventing normal cytokinesis. To test whether RAD50, a protein normally involved in DNA double-strand break repair, is involved in abnormal cytokinesis and formation
