Rabbit anti-Human ERCC6L Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q2NKX8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ERCC6L

Target Full Name

DNA excision repair protein ERCC-6-like

Target Function

DNA helicase that acts as a tension sensor that associates with catenated DNA which is stretched under tension until it is resolved during anaphase. Functions as ATP-dependent DNA translocase. Can promote Holliday junction branch migration (in vitro).

Target Subcellular Location

Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Chromosome.

Target Protein Families

SNF2/RAD54 helicase family

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF2) family of proteins, and contains a SNF2-like ATPase domain and a PICH family domain. One distinguishing feature of this SWI/SNF protein family member is that during interphase, the protein is excluded from the nucleus, and only associates with chromatin after the nuclear envelope has broken down. This protein is a DNA translocase that is thought to bind double-stranded DNA that is exposed to stretching forces, such as those exerted by the mitotic spindle. This protein associates with ribosomal DNA and ultra-fine DNA bridges (UFBs), fine structures that connect sister chromatids during anaphase at some sites such as fragile sites, telomeres and centromeres. This gene is required for the faithful segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis, and the ATPase activity of this protein required for the resolution of UFBs before cytokinesis.
