H2AX is a variant of the H2A protein family and is a component of the histone octomer in nucleosomes. H2AX is phosphorylated by kinases such as ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM-Rad3-related (ATR) in the PI3K pathway. Gamma-H2AX is the first step in recruiting and localizing DNA repair proteins. DSBs can be induced by mechanisms such as ionizing radiation or cytotoxic agents and subsequently, gamma-H2AX foci quickly form. These foci represent the DSBs in a 1:1 manner and can be used as a biomarker for damage. The visualization of gamma-H2AX by can allow the assessment of DNA damage, related DNA damage proteins and DNA repair. Gamma-H2AX has applications in the detection of genomic damage caused by cytotoxic chemical agents and environmental and physical damage.
