Description (eCommerce)
MSH2 is an integral component of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system that functions to recognize aberrant structures and signals for the repair of single base mismatches or loops in replicated DNA. MSH2 has also been demonstrated to function as an anti-recombinase and may play a role in negatively regulating DNA repair. MSH2 can heterodimerize with MSH3 or MSH6. Mutations in MSH2 are linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).
Description (Vector)
This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
