Scientific Data Images for Human RNF8 Antibody
Detection of Human RNF8 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line and U2OS human osteosarcoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human RNF8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF7114) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for RNF8 at approximately 65 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Applications for Human RNF8 Antibody

Background: RNF8
RNF8 (RING [really interesting gene] finger protein 8; also E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF8) is a 55-58 kDa member of the RNF8 family of proteins. It is ubiquitously expressed, and serves as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. RNF8 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks by phosphoMDC1, where it promotes the ubiquitination of histones H2A and H2AX. This, in turn, may result in the recruitment of 53BP1, a scaffold protein that holds DNA damage response elements. Human RNF8 is 485 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one forkhead associated domain (aa 38-92), a Gln-rich segment (aa 276-345), and one Zn-finger region (aa 403-441). There is one utilized phosphorylation site at Ser157. Two potential isoforms are reported. One shows an 18 aa substitution for aa 81-485, while another possesses a 36 aa substitution for aa 413-485. RNF8 apparently undergoes ubiquitination, generating multiple isoforms that run at 62-72 kDa in SDS-Page. Over aa 1-124, human RNF8 shares 74% aa identity with mouse RNF8.
