Key elements and design rationale

• Target: TRPV6 — DNA repair protein XRCC2 (X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 2). Alternative names: DNA repair protein XRCC2; X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 2; Xrcc2
• Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
• Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human
• Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
• Immunogen: E.coli-derived human TRPV6 recombinant protein (Position: A15-I765).
• Molecular weight context: observed 83 kDa (reported)
• Provided application(s): WB, IHC, Flow, ELISA

These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.

Biological background

Function: Involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway of double-stranded DNA, thought to repair chromosomal fragmentation, translocations and deletions. Part of the Rad21 paralog protein complex BCDX2 which acts in the BRCA1-BRCA2-dependent HR pathway. Upon DNA damage, BCDX2 acts downstream of BRCA2 recruitment and upstream of RAD51 recruitment. BCDX2 binds predominantly to the intersection of the four duplex arms of the Holliday junction and to junction of replication forks. The BCDX2 complex was originally reported to bind single-stranded DNA, single-stranded gaps in duplex DNA and specifically to nicks in duplex DNA.

Cellular localization: Nucleus.

Tissue details: Expressed at low level in somatic tissues and at high level in testis.

Background: TRPV6(Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member 6), also known as ECAC2,CAT1 or CATL, a membrane calcium channel which is responsible for the first step in calcium absorption in the intestine. TRPV6 is a member of the Transient receptor potential(TRP) family of membrane proteins. Using FISH, Peng et al.(2000) mapped the TRPV6 gene to chromosome 7q33-q34. Peng et al.(2000) determined that TRPV6 mediates calcium uptake independent of sodium, chloride, and hydrogen; however, calcium influx was higher at alkaline rather than acidic pH. Functional analysis by Peng et al.(2001) indicated that TRPV5 mediates greater calcium uptake than TRPV6. They concluded that TRPV5 and TRPV6 are calcium-selective channels and share a common ancestral gene.

Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Research relevance and current trends

• Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
• Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
• Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.

Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
• Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.

For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
