Anti-ABRA1 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:ABRA1-01)

ABRA1 (Abraxas), also known as CCDC98, is an adaptor protein that is essential for formation and function of BRCA1 A tumor suppressor complex. This complex plays critical roles in DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint control, and maintenance of genomic stability. ABRA1 mediates interaction of ubiquitin-interacting motif-containing protein RAP80 and deubiquitination enzyme BRCC36 with BRCA1/BARD1. ABRA1 controls both DNA-damage-induced formation of BRCA1 foci and BRCA1-dependent G2/M checkpoint activation. Protein function: Involved in DNA damage response and double-strand break (DSB) repair. Component of the BRCA1-A complex, acting as a central scaffold protein that assembles the various components of the complex and mediates the recruitment of BRCA1. The BRCA1-A complex specifically recognizes 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitinated histones H2A and H2AX at DNA lesion sites, leading to target the BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer to sites of DNA damage at DSBs. This complex also possesses deubiquitinase activity that specifically removes 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin on histones H2A and H2AX. [The UniProt Consortium]
