Rad51 is a protein encoded by the RAD51 gene which is approximately 35 kDa. Rad51 is localised to the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondrion matirx. It is involved in the resolution of D-loop structures through synthesis-dependent strand annealing, DNA double-strand break repair, ATM pathway and the BRCA1 pathway. It is known to be involved in the homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination and repair of DNA. It catalyses the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template. Rad51 is highly expressed in the testis and thymus and less expressed in the small intestine, placenta, colon, pancreas and ovary. Mutations in the RAD51 gene result in breast cancer and Fanconi anemia, a disorder affecting all bone marrow elements. STJ99103 was developed from clone 4H10-G5-H4. It was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and detects endogenous levels of Rad51 and does not cross-react with related proteins.
