Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

FANCD2 also known as Fanconi anemia group D2 functions mechanically in DNA repair processes. This protein plays a role in the cellular response to DNA damage specifically interstrand crosslinks. FANCD2 has a molecular weight of approximately 164 kDa. Expression of FANCD2 occurs broadly in various tissues but reaches higher levels in cells that undergo rapid division such as hematopoietic cells.
Biological function summary
FANCD2 collaborates with multiple proteins as part of the Fanconi anemia (FA) complex to ensure genomic stability. The FA complex operates by facilitating the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks that impede replication. FANCD2 becomes activated through monoubiquitination which serves as a signal for recruitment to DNA damage sites. It essentially functions as a coordinator that brings together important components for repair.
Pathways
FANCD2 integrates into the Fanconi anemia pathway and the homologous recombination repair pathway. These pathways are critical for maintaining DNA integrity and preventing chromosomal instability. Within these pathways interactions with proteins such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 reinforce the repair processes. FANCD2's connection to these proteins exemplifies its role in complex mechanisms that preserve genomic fidelity.
FANCD2 links significantly to Fanconi anemia a genetic disorder that causes bone marrow failure and increased cancer susceptibility. Damage or malfunction of FANCD2 can disrupt DNA repair leading to cellular dysfunction seen in this condition. Additionally there is a connection to breast cancer whereby FANCD2 interacts with BRCA2 indicating a shared pathway involved in tumor suppressor functions. These associations underline the importance of FANCD2 in disease pathology and its potential as a therapeutic target.
