Summary
Rad50 antibody detects RAD50, a ~154 kDa protein that, together with MRE11 and NBS1, forms the MRN complex that is intimately involved in DNA damage signaling, DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, recombination, and replication. The complex is also involved other facets of genomic homeostasis including telomere maintenance. MRN plays a pivotal role in the DNA damage response (DDR) through interactions with ATM and ATR.

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50, a protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair. This protein forms a complex with MRE11 and NBS1. The protein complex binds to DNA and displays numerous enzymatic activities that are required for nonhomologous joining of DNA ends. This protein, cooperating with its partners, is important for DNA double-strand break repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, telomere maintenance, and meiotic recombination. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggest this gene is essential for cell growth and viability. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
