Application

Anti-PC4 (AB2) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 0.5-1 µg/ml. For immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration of 4-8 µg/ml is suitable.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PC4 is a chromatin associated protein that contains a non-specific DNA-binding domain. It is involved in processes of replication, transcription and DNA repair. It exhibits a complex role with negative and positive effects on gene expression by influencing transcription initiation, elongation, termination and reinitiation processes. It stimulates ligase-mediated DNA end joining and activates double-strand break (DSB) repair activity. PC4 is a positive activator of p53 and is overexpressed during genotoxic insult to the cells.
