Anti-SGMS2 antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

SGMS2 (sphingomyelin synthase 2), also called SMS2 is one of the two isoforms of SMS enzyme, which is the last enzyme of the sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis pathway. SMS1, SMS2 and SMSr form the complete SMS family. It resides in the plasma membrane, and its cytoplasmic C-terminal is palmitoylated at its cysteine residues. It contains four motifs called D1, D2, D3 and D4, which are highly conserved in nature. It has six transmembrane α-helices, and D1 motif is located in the first exoplasmic loop and D2 in the third transmembrane α-helix.

免疫原

Phosphatidylcholine:ceramide cholinephosphotransferase 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

应用

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

生化/生理作用

SGMS2 (sphingomyelin synthase 2) is the last enzyme in the de novo sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis pathway, which occurs in the plasma membrane. Studies in mice show that this enzyme promotes atherogenesis, and might have potential as a therapeutic target of atherosclerosis. It is also a part of the ceramide phosphoethanolamine biosynthesis. In various cancer cell types, it plays an essential role in cell growth. A compound with anti-tumor activity, called 2-hydroxyoleic acid (2OHOA) causes the activation of SGMS2, which leads to significant increase in the SM amount in plasma membrane. This activation is related to 2OHOA capability to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. This protein also induces NF-κB pathway, which in turn has proatherogenic activity.

特点和优势

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
