Anti-BACH1 BRIP1 Antibody

BACH1 (also known as BRCA1 interacting protein C-terminal helicase 1, BRCA1-interacting protein 1 and BRCA1-associated C-terminal helicase 1) is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1) . The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1) . The BACH1 gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations. BACH1 is localized within the nucleus and functions as a DNA-dependent ATPase and 5' to 3' DNA helicase. Two isoforms have been identified for this protein.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 92-104 of isoform 1 of human BACH1 protein.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human BACH1 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with BACH1 protein from human (100% homology) and chimpanzee (92% homology) . Expect reactivity with isoform 1 and isoform 2 of BACH1. Reactivity against BACH1 homologues from rat and mouse is not expected. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 105 -140 kDa in size corresponding to isoforms of BACH1 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
