Ku86 Antibody (Ku15) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Ku86 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP). Ku86, also known as Ku80 or p80, is a critical component of the Ku protein complex, which plays a vital role in DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability. Ku86 is primarily localized in the nucleus, where anti-Ku86 antibody (Ku15) detects heterodimer formation with Ku70 (p70) to bind to DNA double-strand breaks, facilitating the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. Ku86′s nuclear localization ensures rapid response to DNA damage, which is crucial for preventing mutations and maintaining cellular integrity. Additionally, Ku86 monoclonal antibody (Ku15) can detect interactions with RNA polymerase II and other transcription factors involved in modulating gene expression. Anti-Ku86 antibody (Ku15) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying DNA repair mechanisms, transcriptional regulation, and the pathophysiology of diseases associated with genomic instability.
