Anti-SMC5 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 5 is a protein encoded by the SMC5 gene in human. Predicted to enable ATP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA recombination; cellular senescence; and positive regulation of maintenance of mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. Located in cell junction; chromosome; and nuclear body. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex.

Carbohydrate-binding lectin with a preference for chitin. Has no chitinase activity. May play a role in tissue remodeling and in the capacity of cells to respond to and cope with changes in their environment. Plays a role in T-helper cell type 2 (Th2) inflammatory response and IL-13-induced inflammation, regulating allergen sensitization, inflammatory cell apoptosis, dendritic cell accumulation and M2 macrophage differentiation. Facilitates invasion of pathogenic enteric bacteria into colonic mucosa and lymphoid organs. Mediates activation of AKT1 signaling pathway and subsequent IL8 production in colonic epithelial cells. Regulates antibacterial responses in lung by contributing to macrophage bacterial killing, controlling bacterial dissemination and augmenting host tolerance. Also regulates hyperoxia-induced injury, inflammation and epithelial apoptosis in lung.
