The antibody was tested on mouse meiotic chromosomes. It allowed localisation of the Dmc1 protein as numerous foci in the Leptotene and Zygotene stages of meiotic prophase, and fewer foci in the early Pachytene stage of meiotic prophase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nForm-Liquid, Purification technique-Affinity purification Protein A, Storage buffer-Preservative: 0.02% Sodium azideConstituents: PBS, Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Aliquoting information-Upon delivery aliquot, Storage information-Avoid freeze \/ thaw cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nDMC1 also known as DNA Meiotic Recombinase 1 is an important protein involved in homologous recombination during meiosis. It plays a mechanical role by facilitating the exchange of genetic material between parental chromosomes. DMC1 is a 37-kilodalton protein and belongs to the recombinase family. The protein is mainly expressed in germ cells of both males and females particularly in those undergoing meiosis where it controls the DNA strand exchange process important for genetic diversity.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nDMC1 ensures accurate and efficient repair of double-strand breaks during meiosis a critical function for chromosome segregation and gamete viability. It works in concert with other proteins like RAD51 to form a nucleoprotein filament on the single-stranded DNA that promotes homologous pairing and strand exchange. This coordinated action is essential for forming synaptonemal complexes which stabilize homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nDMC1's role is integral to the homologous recombination repair pathway. It interplays specifically with RAD51 and other recombinases to regulate genetic recombination events. The protein contributes to DNA damage response pathways and is critical for the maintenance and integrity of genetic information during cell division.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations or regulatory dysfunctions in DMC1 have been associated with infertility particularly in disorders affecting spermatogenesis and oogenesis. The protein’s malfunction can disrupt meiotic progression leading to aneuploidies and miscarriages. Additionally DMC1 mutations may connect to cancer pathways as faulty homologous recombination increases genomic instability often observed in various types of cancers highlighting potential therapeutic interactions with proteins like BRCA1 and BRCA2.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855399506089,"sku":"ab11054","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab11054","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
