Anti-phospho-RAD17 (Ser645) (Cell Cycle Checkpoint Protein RAD17, hRad17, RF-C/Activator 1

Rad17, also known as 'cell cycle checkpoint protein RAD17,' is a nuclear protein belonging to the Rad17/RAD24 family and necessary for sustained cell growth, maintenance of chromosomal stability, and ATR-dependent checkpoint activation upon DNA damage. Rad17 is known to have a weak ATPase activity and is required for binding to chromatin and also participates in the recruitment of the RAD1-RAD9-HUS1 complex onto chromatin, and in CHEK1 activation. It may also serve as a sensor of DNA replication progression, and may be involved in homologous recombination. Rad17 is a part of a DNA-binding complex containing RFC2, RFC3, RFC4 and RFC5. Four isoforms have been reported by X-ray irradiation. Overexpression of this protein is seen in various cancer cell lines and in colon carcinoma.
