DDB2 refers to a protein target that is studied across multiple biological contexts; annotations and nomenclature can vary by species and isoform. This product corresponds to the Homo sapiens (Human) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt\/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDissecting domain-specific functions of regulatory proteins involved in chromatin organization and transcriptional control.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMapping protein–protein and protein–nucleic acid interactions that coordinate gene expression programs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilding in vitro assays for enzymatic activities and reader–writer–eraser mechanisms linked to epigenetic regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelevance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protein, which is both involved in DNA repair and protein ubiquitination, as part of the UV-DDB complex and DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) complexes, respectively. Core component of the UV-DDB complex (UV-damaged DNA-binding protein complex), a complex that recognizes UV-induced DNA damage and recruit proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway (the NER pathway) to initiate DNA repair. The UV-DDB complex preferentially binds to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP), apurinic sites and short mismatches. Also functions as the substrate recognition module for the DCX (DDB2-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 (also known as CUL4-DDB-ROC1 and CUL4-DDB-RBX1). The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex may ubiquitinate histone H2A, histone H3 and histone H4 at sites of UV-induced DNA damage. The ubiquitination of histones may facilitate their removal from the nucleosome and promote subsequent DNA repair. The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex also ubiquitinates XPC, which may enhance DNA-binding by XPC and promote NER. The DDB2-CUL4-ROC1 complex also ubiquitinates KAT7\/HBO1 in response to DNA damage, leading to its degradation: recognizes KAT7\/HBO1 following phosphorylation by ATR.; [Isoform D1]: Inhibits UV-damaged DNA repair.; [Isoform D2]: Inhibits UV-damaged DNA repair.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssay and standard development for immunoassays or binding-based detection methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtein–protein interaction studies (e.g., receptor–ligand or complex assembly) using purified components.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructure–function analysis, including domain mapping or evaluation of sequence variants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative\/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eE. coli expression can limit eukaryotic post-translational modifications; for modification-dependent biology, interpret results accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry for Q92466 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q92466\/entry - NCBI Gene search (DDB2) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=DDB2 - PubMed search (DDB2) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=DDB2 - RCSB PDB search (DDB2) — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/search?query=DDB2 - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53065310798189,"sku":"CSB-EP846067HU-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53065474179437,"sku":"CSB-EP846067HU-100UG","price":578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53065474212205,"sku":"CSB-EP846067HU-20UG","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP846067HU-SDS.jpg?v=1772476547","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-dna-damage-binding-protein-2-ddb2-bhp10510127","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
