Anti-Fanconi anemia group C protein FANCC Antibody

FANCC (also called Protein FACC or Fanconi Anemia Group C protein) is involved in DNA repair, perhaps specifically with post-replication repair or a cell cycle checkpoint function. FANCC may also be implicated in interstrand DNA cross-link repair and in the maintenance of normal chromosome stability. FANCC belongs to the multi-subunit Fanconi Anemia (FA) complex composed of FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCL/PHF9 and FANCM. FANCC is mainly found within the nucleus although some protein is localized in the cytoplasm. This protein is ubiquitously expressed. Defects in FANCC are a cause of Fanconi anemia (FA) . FA is a genetically heterogeneous, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. The members of the Fanconi anemia complementation group do not share sequence similarity; they are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group C.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region near amino acids 80-115 of Human FANCC.

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against human FANCC protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with FANCC protein from human and chimpanzee based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

DNA repair protein that may operate in a postreplication repair or a cell cycle checkpoint function. May be implicated in interstrand DNA cross-link repair and in the maintenance of normal chromosome stability. Upon IFNG induction, may facilitate STAT1 activation by recruiting STAT1 to IFNGR1.
