RAD17 Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the
gene product of Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad17, a cell cycle
checkpoint gene required for cell cycle arrest and DNA damage
repair in response to DNA damage. This protein shares strong
similarity with DNA replication factor C (RFC), and can form a
complex with RFCs. This protein binds to chromatin prior to DNA
damage and is phosphorylated by the checkpoint kinase ATR following
damage. This protein recruits the RAD1-RAD9-HUS1 checkpoint protein
complex onto chromatin after DNA damage, which may be required for
its phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of this protein is
required for the DNA-damage-induced cell cycle G2 arrest, and is
thought to be a critical early event during checkpoint signaling in
DNA-damaged cells. Eight alternatively spliced transcript variants
of this gene, which encode four distinct proteins, have been
reported. Two pseudogenes, located on chromosomes 7 and 13, have
been identified.1) Zhang, L., et al. EMBO J. 29(10):1726-1737(2010)

This RAD17 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 218-246 amino acids from the Central region of human RAD17.
