The RecA ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of RecA in various samples. RecA is another term for the RAD51 gene, which encodes the protein, RAD51 recombinase in humans. It has been reported that RecA plays a role in DNA damage pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the RAD51 protein is 339 amino acid residues in length and 37 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 4 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in testis and thymus, followed by small intestine, placenta, colon, pancreas and ovary. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include BRCC5, FANCR, and HRAD51.
