Product Overview
Clone CAE-18 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1 in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 37.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 37 kDa.
RAD51 is the recombinase that carries out strand exchange in homologous recombination. Loaded onto single-stranded DNA with the help of BRCA2, it forms nucleoprotein filaments that search for and invade a matching template, and RAD51 foci are a standard readout of homologous recombination capacity.

Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1 in the chromosome, nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondrion matrix. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed in testis and thymus, followed by small intestine, placenta, colon, pancreas and ovary. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
