H2AX comprises approximately 2-25% of the histone H2A pool in mammalian cells. The extended C-terminal tail of H2AX contains a serine (Ser139) embedded in an conserved SQE motif, which is rapidly phosphorylated at sites of double strand breaks and stalled replication forks. Phosphorylated H2AX may serve to recruit other repair proteins to the site of DNA damage.
H2AX has been implicated in both homologous recombination and nonhomologous end joining DNA repair pathways.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human H2AX were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
