Anti-Cut15 (S. pombe) Antibody, Rabbit Serum

Description Cut15 protein is an essential component for DNA replication and also for the damage and checkpoint control which couples S and M phases (1, 2). It interacts with importin alpha (Imp1p), which together functions in nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle progression.  It contains 4 BRCT domains and the molecular mass is 60.4 kDa with 542 amino acids.   Applications Western blot (100-1000 fold dilution) Not tested for other applications   Specification Immunogen: Recombinant GST-fusion protein with the full length of Cut15 protein Specificity: Reacts with S. pombe Cut15 protein. Not tested for other species Form: Rabbit antiserum with 0.05 % sodium azide Storage: Shipped at 4 °C and store at -20°C.   Data Link: UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot O14063 (IMA1_SCHPO)   References: This antibody was used in the following reference.
