Target/Specificity | This XPA antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 221-250 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human XPA. |
Dilution | FC~~1:10~50 IHC-P~~1:50~100 WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | XPA Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | XPA |

Synonyms | XPAC |
Function | Involved in DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER). Initiates repair by binding to damaged sites with various affinities, depending on the photoproduct and the transcriptional state of the region. Required for UV-induced CHEK1 phosphorylation and the recruitment of CEP164 to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimmers (CPD), sites of DNA damage after UV irradiation (PubMed:19197159). During NER stimulates the 5'-3' helicase activity of XPD/ERCC2 and the DNA translocase activity of XPB/ERCC3 (PubMed:31253769). Connects XPD/ERCC2 and XPB/ERCC3 during NER, retaining DNA near the XPB/ERCC3 active site, and stabilizing the complex in a different conformation than in transcribing TFIIH (PubMed:31253769). |
