MSH2 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) . When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
