MSH2-eiwit, menselijk, recombinant (zijn & GST)

MSH2 is a key DNA mismatch repair protein, which plays an important role in genomic stability. In addition to its DNA repair function, MSH2 serves as a sensor for DNA base analogs-provoked DNA replication errors and binds to various DNA damage-induced adducts to trigger cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Loss or depletion of MSH2 from cells renders resistance to certain DNA-damaging agents. Therefore, the level of MSH2 determines the DNA damage response.MSH2 is a central component of the mismatch repair pathway that targets mismatches arising during DNA replication, homologous recombination (HR), and in response to genotoxic stresses.MSH2 rearrangements are involved in approximately 10% of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) families, and in most of the rearrangements, exon 1 is deleted. Loss of human MSH2 (hMSH2) protein might be involved in the multistep pathogenesis of hematological malignancies associated with genetic instability.
