Rabbit Anti-POLK (DNA Polymerase Kappa, Polymerase (DNA Directed) Kappa)
DINB1, DINP, POLQ

POLK belongs to the DNA polymerase type-Y family. It contains 2 Rad18-type zinc fingers and 1 umuC domain. POLK is a DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. It plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high-fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions, transversions and frameshifts. It lacks 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity. POLK forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have lyase activity.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to the middle region of human POLK
