Human RAD51 Homolog (RAD51) ELISA Kit
Due to the possibility of mismatching between antigens from other origin and antibodies used in our kits (e.g., antibody targets conformational epitope rather than linear epitope), some native or recombinant proteins from other manufacturers may not be recognized by our products.
Principle of the Assay
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to RAD51. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to RAD51. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain RAD51, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of RAD51 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Target Information
Plays an important role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR) (PubMed:18417535, PubMed:20348101, PubMed:12205100, PubMed:20231364, PubMed:23754376, PubMed:23509288, PubMed:28575658, PubMed:26681308). Binds to single-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to form nucleoprotein filaments which are essential for the homology search and strand exchange (PubMed:18417535, PubMed:20348101, PubMed:12205100, PubMed:20231364, PubMed:23754376, PubMed:23509288, PubMed:28575658, PubMed:26681308). Catalyzes the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template (PubMed:18417535, PubMed:20348101, PubMed:12205100, PubMed:20231364, PubMed:23754376, PubMed:23509288, PubMed:28575658, PubMed:26681308). Recruited to resolve stalled replication forks during replication stress (PubMed:27797818, PubMed:31844045). Part of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing BRCA2 and RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR (PubMed:24141787, PubMed:12442171). Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial DNA copy number under conditions of oxidative stress in the presence of RAD51C and XRCC3 (PubMed:20413593). Also involved in interstrand cross-link repair (PubMed:26253028).

Performance Characteristics
| REPEATABILITY |
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level RAD51 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. |
| SENSITIVITY | The minimum detectable dose was 0.081ng/mL. |
| ASSAY RANGE | 0.312-20ng/mL |
| SPECIFICITY | This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of RAD51. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between RAD51 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between RAD51 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist. |
