RFC5 Antibody

The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon requires the accessory proteins proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC) . RFC, also named activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits of 140, 40, 38, 37, and 36 kD. RFC5 is the 36 kD subunit. This subunit can interact with the C-terminal region of PCNA. It forms a core complex with the 38 and 40 kDa subunits. The core complex possesses DNA-dependent ATPase activity, which was found to be stimulated by PCNA in an in vitro system.The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon requires the accessory proteins proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC) .

Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store RFC5 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

RFC5 antibody can be used for detection of RFC5 by ELISA at 1:62500. RFC5 antibody can be used for detection of RFC5 by western blot at 1.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
