Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Tdp2 [Tdp2]
  • Clone: Tdp2
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Polyclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Molecular weight of the target: 49 kDa
  • Application: WB
  • Description: DNA repair enzyme that can remove a variety of covalent adducts from DNA through hydrolysis of a 5'-phosphodiester bond, giving rise to DNA with a free 5' phosphate. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of dead-end complexes between DNA and the topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) active site tyrosine residue. Hydrolyzes 5'- phosphoglycolates on protruding 5' ends on DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) due to DNA damage by radiation and free radicals. The 5'-tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase activity can enable the repair of TOP2-induced DSBs without the need for nuclease activity, creating a 'clean' DSB with 5'-phosphate termini that are ready for ligation. Has also 3'-tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase activity, but less efficiently and much slower than TDP1. May also act as a negative regulator of ETS1 and may inhibit nuclear factor-kappa-B activation.
