HCA127 recognises Human Ku70, a 70kDa nuclear protein involved in DNA damage repair.
Ku70 forms a hetrodimer comprising of p70/p86 which acts as regulatory subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex DNA-PK by increasing the affinity of the catalytic subunit PRKDC to DNA. Research indicates that the Ku p70/p86 dimer is probably involved in stabilizing broken DNA ends and bringing them together.
