ANTI-TRIM2 ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT AFFINITY ISOLATED ANTIBODY

General description

Tripartite motif containing 2 (TRIM2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase, encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q31.3. The encoded protein belongs to the TRIM– NCL-1, HT2A and Lin-41 (NHL) protein family. This 81kDa protein is characterized with an N-terminal really interesting new gene (RING) finger domain and a B-box domain, a middle coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal NHL domain.

Tripartite motif-containing protein 2 (TRIM2), also known as RNF86, Narf is highly expressed in the nervous system.

Application

Anti-TRIM2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis.

Anti-TRIM2 antibody produced in rabbit in immunoblotting and western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tripartite motif containing 2 (TRIM2) ubiquitinates neurofilament light chain, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-interacting mediator and motor protein myosin V. It has a role in polarization of neurons and outgrowth of axons. Loss of function of the protein has been linked to early-onset axonal neuropathy.

Tripartite motif-containing protein (TRIM) RING finger proteins play an important role in cancerogenesis and in defense against viral infection. Mutations in the RING finger protein Parkin is associated with Parkinson′s disease (PD), and translocation of the TRIM gene is linked to acute promyelocytic leukemia. TRIM2 plays an important role in regulating neurofilament (NF-L) metabolism.

Physical form
