Biological background
Biological context: Function as a weak apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endodeoxyribonuclease in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway of DNA lesions induced by oxidative and alkylating agents. Initiates repair of AP sites in DNA by catalyzing hydrolytic incision of the phosphodiester backbone immediately adjacent to the damage, generating a single-strand break with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl ends. Displays also double-stranded DNA 3'-5' exonuclease, 3'-phosphodiesterase activities. Shows robust 3'-5' exonuclease activity on 3'-recessed heteroduplex DNA and is able to remove mismatched nucleotides preferentially. Shows fairly strong 3'-phosphodiesterase activity involved in the removal of 3'-damaged termini formed in DNA by oxidative agents. In the nucleus functions in the PCNA-dependent BER pathway. Required for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and DNA cleavage step of class switch recombination (CSR) of immunoglobulin genes. Required for proper cell cycle progression during proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes. .
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion . Together with PCNA, is redistributed in discrete nuclear foci in presence of oxidative DNA damaging agents., tissue context: Highly expressed in brain and kidney. Weakly expressed in the fetal brain. ..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare SHOC2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of SHOC2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify SHOC2-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Leucine-rich repeat protein SHOC-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHOC2 gene. This gene encodes a protein that consists almost entirely of leucine-rich repeats, a domain implicated in protein-protein interactions. The protein may function as a scaffold linking RAS to downstream signal transducers in the RAS/ERK MAP kinase signaling cascade. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion . Together with PCNA, is redistributed in discrete nuclear foci in presence of oxidative DNA damaging agents.
- Tissue details: Highly expressed in brain and kidney. Weakly expressed in the fetal brain. .
