Description
Background: FANCA is one of the six known Fanconi anemia gene products (FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, and FANCG proteins). Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder predisposing to aplastic anemia and cancer characterized by hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and oxidative stress. FANCA associates with the IkappaB kinase (IKK) signalsome via interaction with IKK2. Components of the FANCA complex undergo rapid, stimulus-dependent changes in phosphorylation, which are blocked by kinase-inactive IKK2.
Description: A DNA sequence encoding the human FANCA (AAH08979.1) (Met 1-Cys 297) was expressed, with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus
