Recombinant Human PRDM2

• Cat.No.: PRDM2-27746TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant fragment corresponding to amino acids 2-200 of Human KMT8/Riz1/Riz2 with N-terminal proprietary tag, 48.6 kDa.

Specification

• Description: This tumor suppressor gene is a member of a nuclear histone/protein methyltransferase superfamily. It encodes a zinc finger protein that can bind to retinoblastoma protein, estrogen receptor, and the TPA-responsive element (MTE) of the heme-oxygenase-1 gene. Although the functions of this protein have not been fully characterized, it may (1) play a role in transcriptional regulation during neuronal differentiation and pathogenesis of retinoblastoma, (2) act as a transcriptional activator of the heme-oxygenase-1 gene, and (3) be a specific effector of estrogen action. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
• Source: E. coli
