HSPC142 (BRCA1-A Complex Subunit MERIT40, Chromosome 19 Open Reading Frame 62, C19orf62, FLJ20571, Mediator of RAP80 Interactions and Targeting Subunit of 40kD, MERIT40, New Component of the BRCA1-A Complex, NBA1)

MERIT40 is a 40kD member of the MERIT40 family of proteins. It is ubiquitously expressed, and participates in the DNA damage response. At sites of double strand breaks, histones are phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, and deubiquitinated, with repairs performed by a sequentially formed complex that contains BRCA1, Rap80 and BRE. MERIT40 apparently serves as a scaffold protein that maintains the integrity of the complex. Human MERIT40 is 329aa in length. It contains one VWF-A domain aa95-298 and six utilized Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites. There are three potential splice variants. One shows a 13aa substitution for aa234-329, a second possesses a 105aa substitution for aa263-329, while a third shows a 37aa substitution for aa1-115, coupled to a deletion of aa263-329. Over aa182-329, human MERIT40 shares 95aa identity with mouse MERIT40.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
