Anti-MSH2 [1B11-14-16]

Anti-MSH2 [1B11-14-16]

• Gene Name: [MSH2]
• NCBI Gene ID: 4436
• Reactivity: Human
• Storage Conditions: Store at 4 °C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20 °C.
• Specificity: This antibody binds an epitope on the human DNA mismatch protein MSH2 between amino acids 919-934 (NSFVNEIISRIKVTT). MSH2 forms a heterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSalpha mismatch repair complex. The DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) is composed of enzyme molecules that specifically repair DNA base mismatches. MSH2 is involved in many different forms of DNA repair, including transcription-coupled repair, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. Studies have shown that mutations and/or loss of function of MMR genes are related to the occurrence of a variety of tumors, such as colorectal cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer.
