Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50-250 dilution from a representative lot detected DNA polymerase beta in normal rat testis, normal human kidney, as well as human lung & prostate cancer tissue sections.

This Anti-DNA polymerase beta Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry for the detection of DNA polymerase beta.

General description

DNA polymerase beta (EC 2.7.7.7; UniProt P06746; also known as DNA pol beta, DNA polymerase beta subunit) is encoded by the POLB gene (Gene ID 5423) in human. DNA polymerase beta is involved in DNA recombination and base-excision repair (BER). Upon oxidative DNA damage, Polb translocates to the nucleus, where it associates with AP endonuclease 1 (Apex) to carry out DNA repair. Apex makes a single nick 5′ to an abasic site in double-stranded DNA, Polb then inserts the replacement nucleotide(s). Aberrant POLB overexpression results in an increased rate of spontaneous mutagenesis and a highly mutagenic tolerance phenotype. Thirty percent of all tumors are reported to harbor mutations in the POLB gene.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human DNA polymerase beta.
