T4 UvsX Recombinase (5 ug/ul)

 

    T4 UvsX Recombinase, derived from T4 bacteriophage, is a homolog of the RecA/Rad51 recombinase family with a molecular weight of 45 kDa. The RecA/Rad51 recombinase family plays a crucial role in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks and the restart of replication forks. UvsX and other recombinases form presynaptic filaments on ssDNA that are activated to search for homology in dsDNA and to perform DNA strand exchange. In combination with other related proteins, UvsY can facilitate isothermal amplification reactions.
