Revvity HTRF Human Total H2AX Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

The Total-H2AX kit offers quantitative detection of human histone variant H2AX. The specific phosphorylation of H2AX at Ser139 may occur when double-stranded DNA breaks, either due to ionizing radiation or to endogenous physiological processes. This modification, called gamma-H2AX (phospho-Ser139), triggers cell cycle arrest and DNA damage response repair, which makes this assay particularly appropriate for studying genome stability, cell cycle, DNA repair, and more broadly as a biomarker for cancer and for aging process investigations.
