| Application: | Anti-RNF8 polyclonal antibody is used to tag ring finger protein 8 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles ring finger protein 8 in processes such as DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | RNF8 contains a RING finger motif and a FHA domain. This protein has been shown to interact with several class II ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2), including UBE2E1/UBCH6, UBE2E2, and UBE2E3, and may act as an ubiquitin ligase (E3) in the ubiquitination of certain nuclear proteins.The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and a FHA domain.

Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. |

| General description: | Ring finger protein 8 (RNF8) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase which ubiquitinates proteins for degradation by proteosomes. RNF8 is involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, wherein RNF8 and RNF168 control the recruitment of 53BP1 to DNA damage sites and ubiquitination of histone-2A. RNF8 also mediates chromatin decondensation to create a local chromatin environment that is permissive to the assembly of checkpoint and repair machineries at DNA lesions. |
