MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-FEN1 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Western Blot. The Rabbit Anti-FEN1 Antibody was generated using FEN1 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The structure-specific nuclease human flap endonuclease-1 (hFEN1) plays a key role in DNA replication and repair and may be of interest as an oncology target. FEN1 phosphorylation is proposed to regulate the action of FEN1 in DNA repair as well as Okazaki fragment maturation. FEN1 polymorphisms may reduce the risk of breast cancer in Chinese women. FEN1(Flap endonuclease 1) is a central component in cellular metabolism, overexpression and decrease of FEN1 levels may cause cancer, these regulation changes of Flap endonuclease 1reported in many cancer cells. Suppression of FEN1 resulted in decreased DNA replication and accumulation of DNA damage, which subsequently induced apoptosis. Manipulating the amount of FEN1 altered the response of lung cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. A small-molecule inhibitor (C20) was used to target FEN1 and this enhanced the therapeutic effect of cisplatin. The FEN1 inhibitor significantly suppressed cell proliferation and induced DNA damage in lung cancer cells
