General description
NBN (nibrin) is a part of a highly conserved protein complex, which also includes MRE11 and RAD50 proteins. This complex is essential in recognition and signaling of DNA double-strand break (DSB). Functionally, this protein can be divided into two domains- C-terminal contains MRE11 (meiotic recombination 11 homolog A)- and ATM (ataxia telangiectasia-mutated) kinase-binding domains. Its N-terminal is responsible for phosphor-dependent protein-protein interactions and contains forkhead-associated (FHA) and breast cancer C-terminal (BRCT).

Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
NBN (nibrin) is involved in DNA double-strand break repair. It activates DNA damage-induced checkpoint. Defects in this gene are associated with Nijmegen breakage syndrome that is characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. It plays a role in tumorigenesis, and this gene is mutated in breast and colorectal cancer, primary glioblastoms and medulloblastoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and other lymphoid malignancies.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST78218.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
