Description
The EK2-5G9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA), also known as AID, or Single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase. AID is an enzyme that preferentially acts upon certain DNA sequence motifs, such as those located in immunoglobulin variable regions, to induce cytidine-to-uracil mutations. AID-induced mutations initiate both somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) of the immunoglobulin genes in activated B cells during immune responses. While essential for immunoglobulin gene diversification, dysregulated AID activity can result in genomic instability and oncogenic transformation. Originally thought to be B-cell specific, AID now appears to be abnormally expressed in several epithelial cancers. AID may also play roles in DNA demethylation.
