RAD51 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein RAD51 recombinase, which is encoded by the RAD51 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to play an important role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 339 residues, a mass of 37 kDa, and is a member of the RecA protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm and is reported to be highly expressed in testis and thymus, followed by small intestine, placenta, colon, pancreas and ovary. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The RAD51 gene has been associated with the disease, Breast cancer. Other alias names for this target include FANCR, HRAD51, HsRad51, HsT16930, MRMV2, RAD51A, RECA, and BRCC5.
There are RAD51 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 70 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
