Target Information

The breast cancer early onset proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2 are central to the repair of DNA damage by homologous recombination and are strongly associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancer.
The protein PALB2 is required for the localization of BRCA2 to sites of DNA damage and, like BRCA1 and BRCA2, is a breast cancer susceptibility gene.
PALB2 functions by directly binding to BRCA1, allowing the PALB2 protein to organize BRCA2 and the recombinase RAD51 at the site of DNA damage.
Analysis of the BRCA1–PALB2–BRCA2–RAD51 network may help predict tumor responsiveness to specific therapeutic treatments.
At least four isoforms of PALB2 are known to exist.
