General description

X-ray repair cross-complementing protein (XRCC2) is a member of the RecA family which is essential for DNA repair and maintenance. XRCC2 also belongs to the Rad51 subfamily of proteins involved in double stranded DNA break repair. XRCC2 is thought to encode a member of the RecA/Rad51 related protein family which maintains chromosome stability and repairs DNA damage. XRCC2 and RAD51 interact to form a multimeric ring in the absence of DNA. XRCC2 is thought to load Rad51 onto gapped DNA.

Immunogen
