Product Category: Monoclonal Antibodies

Host: Mouse

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This PCNA antibody is generated from a mouse immunized with a recombinant protein of human PCNA.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus Note=Colocalizes with CREBBP, EP300 and POLD1 to sites of DNA damage (PubMed:24939902) . Forms nuclear foci representing sites of ongoing DNA replication and vary in morphology and number during S phase (PubMed:15543136) . Co-localizes with SMARCA5/SNF2H and BAZ1B/WSTF at replication foci during S phase (PubMed:15543136) . Together with APEX2, is redistributed in discrete nuclear foci in presence of oxidative DNA damaging agents.

Molecular Weight: 28769

Clone: Monoclonal

Gene Name: PCNA

Gene ID: 5111

Function: Auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and is involved in the control of eukaryotic DNA replication by increasing the polymerase's processibility during elongation of the leading strand. Induces a robust stimulatory effect on the 3'-5' exonuclease and 3'- phosphodiesterase, but not apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APEX2 activities. Has to be loaded onto DNA in order to be able to stimulate APEX2. Plays a key role in DNA damage response (DDR) by being conveniently positioned at the replication fork to coordinate DNA replication with DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance pathways (PubMed:24939902) . Acts as a loading platform to recruit DDR proteins that allow completion of DNA replication after DNA damage and promote postreplication repair: Monoubiquitinated PCNA leads to recruitment of translesion (TLS) polymerases, while 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA is involved in error-free pathway and employs recombination mechanisms to synthesize across the lesion (PubMed:24695737) .
