EME1 Antibody

Overview

Essential meiotic endonuclease 1 (Eme1), a member of the Eme1/Mms4 family, associates with Mus81 to constitute a heterodimeric endonuclease that has been implicated in mitotic and meiotic recombination in eukaryotes. The Mus81-Eme1 complex cleaves branched DNA structures, especially those arising during stalled DNA replication such as replication forks and 3 DNA flaps. When purified from yeast, this complex cleaves synthetic Holliday junctions into linear duplex DNA. These findings provide compelling evidence that Mus81-Eme1 complexes are essential elements of the eukaryotic nuclear Holliday junction resolvase. Eme1 may also be required in mitosis for the processing of collapsed replication forks. Eme1 is typically localized to the nucleolus and is recruited to regions of DNA damage in S phase cells.

This anti-EME1 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone MTA31 7H2/1, Mouse IgG1, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.

Key elements and design rationale

• Target: EME1
• Format: Purified
• Localization: Nucleus
• Species reactivity: Human
• Applications (listed): WB, IHC-P
• Conjugate: Unconjugated
• Clone and antibody class: Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone MTA31 7H2/1, Mouse IgG1, kappa

Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.

Biological background

EME1 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.

Research relevance and current trends

• Profiling EME1 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
• Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link EME1 signal with phenotype.
• Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.

Common research applications

• WB
• IHC-P

Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
• Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
• Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
