Human ERCC6 Recombinant Protein (N-His) (GXRP11446)

Human ERCC6 Recombinant Protein (N-His)

Human ERCC6 Recombinant Protein (N-His) is a recombinant protein expressed in E. coli, spanning Gly456-Arg745, with an N-terminal His tag. Predicted molecular weight: 36.12 kDa. Purity: >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Supplied lyophilized from a solution in PBS pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 4% Trehalose, 1% Mannitol. Applications: ELISA, immunogen, SDS-PAGE and Western blot. DNA excision repair protein ERCC-6 is a ~168 kDa protein. Essential factor involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), a process during which RNA polymerase II-blocking lesions are rapidly removed from the transcribed strand of active genes. For research use only.

Plays a central role in the initiation of the TC-NER process: specifically recognizes and binds RNA polymerase II stalled at a lesion, and mediates recruitment of ERCC8/CSA, initiating DNA damage excision by TFIIH recruitment. Upon DNA-binding, it locally modifies DNA conformation by wrapping the DNA around itself, thereby modifying the interface between stalled RNA polymerase II and DNA. Acts as a chromatin remodeler at DSBs; DNA-dependent ATPase-dependent activity is essential for this function. Plays an important role in regulating the choice of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathway and G2/M checkpoint activation; DNA-dependent ATPase activity is essential for this function.
