Background:

The DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) repairs post-replication DNA, inhibits recombination between non-identical DNA sequences and induces both checkpoint and apoptotic responses following certain types of DNA damage . MSH2 (MutS homologue 2) forms the hMutS-α dimer with MSH6 and is an essential component of the mismatch repair process. hMutS-α is part of the BRCA1-associated surveillance complex (BASC), a complex that also contains BRCA1, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 proteins and the Rad50-Mre11-NBS1 complex

Specificity:

Recognizes endogenous levels of MSH2 protein.

Alternative names:

DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2; hMSH2; MutS protein homolog 2

Human

Host:

Mouse

Ig type:

Mouse IgG. Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.2% BSA and 0.01% sodium azide.

Immunogen:

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide encompassing a sequence within human MSH2. The exact sequence is proprietary.
