PCNA, Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) is a protein that plays a crucial role in DNA replication and repair. It acts as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase, helping to increase the efficiency of DNA synthesis. PCNA is also involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, DNA damage response, and chromatin remodeling.
PCNA is often overexpressed in many types of tumors. This overexpression is associated with increased cell proliferation, which is a hallmark of cancer. The elevated levels of PCNA can serve as a biomarker for tumor growth and progression.
PCNA is called the “ringmaster of the genome” : it regulates the cell cycle and participates in DNA synthesis. PCNA is widely used as a cell proliferation marker in both healthy and malignant tissues.
