General description

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a ring-shaped homotrimer protein that is located at the center of the faithful duplication of eukaryotic genomes. Since it encircles the DNA, PCNA is also known as a sliding clamp. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 20p12.3.
The protein encoded by this gene is found in the nucleus and is a cofactor of DNA polymerase delta. The encoded protein acts as a homotrimer and helps increase the processivity of leading strand synthesis during DNA replication. In response to DNA damage, this protein is ubiquitinated and is involved in the RAD6-dependent DNA repair pathway. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene have been described on chromosome 4 and on the X chromosome. (provided by RefSeq)

Application

Monoclonal Anti-PCNA antibody has been used in immunocytochemistry and western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) controls the production of the leading and lagging strands, that are required for the duplication of DNA. It acts as a cell cycle regulatory protein. This protein regulates apoptosis. PCNA is also involved in non-replicative DNA synthesis events.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4
