Product Specific Information

For reconstitution, add 100 µL of distilled water to achieve a final antibody concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL.
For conjugation experiments, perform an additional desalting step using Zeba Spin Desalting Columns (7K MWCO, 0.5 mL, Product #89882).

Target Information

The human UNG gene encodes both nuclear (UNG2) and mitochondrial (UNG1) forms of uracil-DNA glycosylase. These isoforms arise from alternative splicing and use of two differentially regulated promoters (PA and PB).

• UNG1 and UNG2 cDNAs are similar in size (2061 and 2058 bp) and migrate together in electrophoresis.
• UNG2 differs from UNG1 by 44 amino acids in the N-terminal region, which is not essential for catalytic activity.
• The UNG gene products repair mutagenic U:G mispairs caused by cytosine deamination; UNG2 removes misincorporated dUMP residues.
• Expression of UNG1 and UNG2 varies among tissues and is cell cycle regulated, with higher activity in proliferating cells.
• UNG1: 304 amino acids; UNG2: 313 amino acids.
