POLK Antibody (Center) [APR31899G]

Tissue Location: Detected at low levels in testis, spleen, prostate and ovary. Detected at very low levels in kidney, colon, brain, heart, liver, lung, placenta, pancreas and peripheral blood leukocytes

Nucleus. Note=Detected throughout the nucleus and at replication foci (PubMed:12414988) . Recruited to DNA damage sites in response to ultraviolet irradiation: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) - containing mRNAs accumulate in the vicinity of DNA damage sites and their presence is required to recruit POLK (PubMed:28297716)

Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. Plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high-fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions, transversions and frameshifts. Lacks 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity. Forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have lyase activity.
