DNA repair protein XRCC3 Antibodies

Involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway of double-stranded DNA, thought to repair chromosomal fragmentation, translocations and deletions. Part of the RAD21 paralog protein complex CX3 which acts from the BRCA1-BRCA2- dependent HR pathway.

Upon DNA damage, CX3 acts downstream of RAD51 recruitment; the complex binds predominantly to the junction of the four duplex arms of the Holliday junction (HJ) and to junctions of replication forks. Involved in HJ resolution and thus in processing HR intermediates late in the DNA repair process; the function may be linked to the CX3 complex and seems to involve GEN1 during mitotic cell cycle progression.
