Invitrogen™ CHK2 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SC604)

Rabbit Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA532220

Catalog No. PIMA532220

Description

Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.

CHEK2 (CHK2) is a serine/threonine kinase and a component of the DNA damage checkpoint pathway. A mutation in CHK2 has been linked to cancer. CHK2 is activated by DNA damage and phosphorylates several modulators of cell cycle control including tumor suppressor proteins. In addition, Chk2 can phosphorylate BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage. Chk2 is a putative tumor suppressor protein, with mutations in to the Chk2 gene linked to Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a familiar cancer usually associated with inherited mutations in TP53. Also, mutations in CHK2 are thought to confer a predisposition to sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors.
