The Ku86 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Ku86 in various samples. Ku86 is another term for the XRCC5 gene, which encodes the protein, X-ray repair cross complementing 5 in humans. It has been reported that Ku86 plays a role in brain development and DNA damage pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the XRCC5 protein is described to be 732 amino acid residues in length and 82.7 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus of the cell. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated, sumoylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include KARP-1, KARP-1, and KARP1.
