Anti-MTERFD2 MTERF4 Antibody

Members of the mTERF (mitochondrial transcription termination factor) family, are mitochondrial proteins that are believed to be transcription termination factors. MTERFD2 is targeted to the mitochondria and is ubiquitously expressed, with highest expression levels in fore- and midbrain, diencephalon, spinal cord, tongue, lung liver and kidney. MTERFD2 has been suggested to play a role in organ differentiation during embryogenesis. A closely related mTERF family member, MTERFD3, is believed to be involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth by modulating mitochondrial transcription.

MTERFD2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human MTERFD2 . The immunogen is located within amino acids 260 - 310 of MTERFD2.

Regulator of mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis and translation. Binds to mitochondrial ribosomal RNAs 16S, 12S and 7S and targets NSUN4 RNA methyltransferase to the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (39S) .
