Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ There are four distinct ligase proteins found in mammalian cells. The activity of these DNA ligases is required for the joining of DNA strand breaks that occur during DNA replication, repair and recombination. DNA Ligase III gene product migrates as a 100kDa (a-form) protein in somatic tissues, is ubiquitously expressed and complexes with XRCC-1 and a 97kDa (§-form) protein that is found in testis. DNA Ligase III is involved in rejoining DNA single-strand breaks and in the base excision repair pathway._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Recombinant full-length human DNA Ligase III-b._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: Blocking: Assay-dependent dilution, ICC/IF: Assay-dependent dilution, IP: Assay-dependent dilution, WB: Assay-dependent dilution, PLA: Assay-dependent dilution. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Phosphate-buffered saline, no preservative added._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ There are four distinct ligase proteins found in mammalian cells.
