MSH6 Antibody (44) Summary

Immunogen
Synthetic human MSH6 peptide.
Localization
Nuclear
Specificity
MSH6 is a heterodimer of MSH2 and binds to DNA containing G/T mismatches. The MSH2-MSH6 complex recognizes a single-based mispair insertion/deletion loop. An alteration of microsatellite repeats is the result of slippage owing to strand misalignment during DNA replication and is referred to as microsatellite instability (MSI). These defects in DNA repair pathways have been related to human carcinogenesis. Studies have shown the mutation of MLH-1, MSH2 and MSH6 genes contribute to the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma. Repair of mismatch DNA is essential to maintain the integrity of genetic information over time. This antibody cross reacts with mouse, rat, and dog.

Background

Defects in MSH6 are a cause of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) (Lynch syndrome). HNPCC is an autosomal, dominantly inherited disease associated with marked increase in cancer susceptibility. it is characterized by a familial predisposition to early onset colorectal carcinoma (crc) and extra-colonic cancers of the gastrointestinal, urological and female reproductive tracts. HNPCC is reported to be the most common form of inherited colorectal cancer in the western world. MSH6 is central to mismatch DNA repair.
