Description
Product Characteristics:
Synonyms: DNA repair protein RAD52, DNA repair protein RAD52 homolog, RAD 52, RAD52 homolog S. cerevisiae, RAD52 homolog, Recombination protein RAD52, Rhabdomyosarcoma antigen MU RMS 40.23.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene shares similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad52, a protein important for DNA double-strand break repair and homologous recombination. This gene product was shown to bind single-stranded DNA ends, and mediate the DNA-DNA interaction necessary for the annealing of complementary DNA strands. It was also found to interact with DNA recombination protein RAD51, which suggested its role in RAD51 related DNA recombination and repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
