Anti-DMC1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein DNA meiotic recombinase 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 340 amino acid residues and a mass of 37.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the testis. A member of the RecA protein family, DMC1 is reported to participate in meiotic recombination, specifically in homologous strand assimilation, which is required for the resolution of meiotic double-strand breaks. Synonyms for this target antigen include LIM15, dJ199H16.1, meiotic recombination protein DMC1/LIM15 homolog, DMC1 dosage suppressor of mck1 homolog, meiosis-specific homologous recombination, and DMC1H. DMC1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of DMC1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
