Specificity
This antibody recognises Histone H2A.X when phosphorylated at tyrosine 142.Histone H2A.X is a member of the histone H2A family, one of the four core histones making up the nucleosome core particle. Histone H2A variant H2A.X is a variant of histone H2A that regulates the interaction of MDC1 (mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1), a DNA repair protein, to the sites of DNA damage. Phosphorylation of histone H2A.X at tyrosine 142 is implicated in a number of biological processes, including DNA repair. K-Ras-ERK1/2 down-regulates phosphorylation of H2A.X at the site of tyrosine 142 by increasing degradation of WSTF and contributes to the progression of gastric cancer. Wide species cross-reactivity is expected from Rabbit anti Human histone H2A.X (pTyr142) antibody based on sequence.
