Anti-XPC (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in indirect immunofluorescence and western blotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Defective XPC gene causes photosensitivity syndrome called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), which is characterized by a very high incidence of light-induced skin cancer.

DNA damage recognition and repair factor, XPC complex subunit xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) has a role in global genome nucleotide excision repair pathway. As part of the XPC complex, this protein binds to DNA sites having many lesions. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the XPC gene have been linked to various cancers.

General description

XPC exists in vivo as a heterotrimeric complex with one of the two mammalian homologs of S. cerevisiae Rad23 (HR23A or HR23B) and centrin 2.

DNA damage recognition and repair factor, XPC complex subunit xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a DNA damage recognition factor. The protein consists of 940 amino acids. The gene encoding XPC is localized on human chromosome 3p25.1 and consists of 18 exons.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 922-940 of human XPC, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue.

Physical form
