Description
Product Characteristics:
DNA PK is the key component of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of DSB repair in mammalian cells. DNA PK consists of a heterodimeric DNA-binding subunit (Ku70/80) and an approximately 465 kDa catalytic subunit (DNA PKcs). DNA PKcs is a serine/threonine protein kinase whose activity is greatly stimulated by its recruitment to DNA breaks by the Ku heterodimer.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: DNA PKcsThr2609, PRKDCphospho T2609, DNA PKcs phospho T2609, p-DNA PKcs phospho T2609, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, DNA-PK catalytic subunit, DNA-PKcs, DNPK1, p460, PRKDC, HYRC, HYRC1, Variant, DNAPK, DNAPK catalytic subunit, p350, PRKDC, Protein Kinase DNA Activated Catalytic Polypeptide, XRCC 7, XRCC7, PRKDC_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). It functions with the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer protein in DNA double strand break repair and recombination. The protein encoded is a member of the PI3/PI4-kinase family.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
