| Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human MSH2 MSH2 (MutS homologue 2) forms the hMutS- Alpha dimer with MSH6 and is an essential component of the mismatch repair process. hMutS- Alpha is part of the BRCA1-associated surveillance complex (BASC), a complex that also contains BRCA1, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 proteins and the Rad50-Mre11-NBS1 complex. |

Product Overview
Clone ACIH-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2 in human samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 104.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 105 kDa.
MSH2 is a central DNA mismatch repair protein. It pairs with MSH6 to form MutSα, which recognizes single-base mismatches and small loops, or with MSH3 to form MutSβ, which recognizes larger loops. Loss of MSH2 causes microsatellite instability, and germline mutations are a major cause of Lynch syndrome.

Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human MSH2 MSH2 (MutS homologue 2) forms the hMutS- Alpha dimer with MSH6 and is an essential component of the mismatch repair process. hMutS- Alpha is part of the BRCA1-associated surveillance complex (BASC), a complex that also contains BRCA1, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 proteins and the Rad50-Mre11-NBS1 complex.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2 in the nucleus and chromosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitously expressed. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
