BRCA1 (Phospho-Ser1457)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The BRCA1 Phospho-Ser1457 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a cutting-edge assay designed for the precise detection of phosphorylated BRCA1 at serine 1457 in cell lysates. This kit is highly sensitive, offering reliable and reproducible results for a variety of research applications.BRCA1 is a critical tumor suppressor gene involved in DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability. Phosphorylation of BRCA1 at serine 1457 has been linked to its function in DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation. Dysregulation of this phosphorylation event is associated with breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility, highlighting the importance of studying this marker in cancer research.

With the BRCA1 Phospho-Ser1457 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit, researchers can accurately measure levels of phosphorylated BRCA1 in cell samples, providing valuable insights into cellular signaling pathways and potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

The BRCA1 (Phospho-Ser1457) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect BRCA1 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated BRCA1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on BRCA1 phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of BRCA1 (Phospho-Ser1457) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, BRCA1 (Phospho-Ser1457) is captured by BRCA1 (Phospho-Ser1457)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.
Database Information:Gene ID: 672, UniProt ID: P38398, OMIM: 113705/114480, Unigene: Hs.194143
Gene Symbol:BRCA1
Sub Type:Phospho
UniProt Protein Function:E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that specifically mediates the formation of 'Lys-6'-linked polyubiquitin chains and plays a central role in DNA repair by facilitating cellular responses to DNA damage. It is unclear whether it also mediates the formation of other types of polyubiquitin chains. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is required for its tumor suppressor function. The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a diverse range of cellular pathways such as DNA damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability. Regulates centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Required for normal cell cycle progression from G2 to mitosis. Required for appropriate cell cycle arrests after ionizing irradiation in both the S-phase and the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Involved in transcriptional regulation of P21 in response to DNA damage. Required for FANCD2 targeting to sites of DNA damage. May function as a transcriptional regulator. Inhibits lipid synthesis by binding to inactive phosphorylated ACACA and preventing its dephosphorylation. Contributes to homologous recombination repair (HRR) via its direct interaction with PALB2, fine-tunes recombinational repair partly through its modulatory role in the PALB2-dependent loading of BRCA2-RAD51 repair machinery at DNA breaks. Component of the BRCA1-RBBP8 complex which regulates CHEK1 activation and controls cell cycle G2/M checkpoints on DNA damage via BRCA1-mediated ubiquitination of RBBP8. Acts as a transcriptional activator (PubMed:20160719).
NCBI Summary:This gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
