Product Specifications

Background

Ataxin-2, the protein encoded by the ATXN2 gene, contains a polyglutamine tract, long expansions (greater than 33 repeats) of which result in spinocerebellar ataxia-2 (SCA2), an autosomal dominant form of olivopontocerebellar atrophy. The gene for spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) has been mapped to 12q24.1. Ataxin-2 associates with L- and T-plastin and that overexpression of ataxin-2 leads to accumulation of T-plastin in mammalian cells.

Function

Integrin alpha-5/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin and fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. ITGA5:ITGB1 binds to PLA2G2A via a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and this induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1 (PubMed:18635536, PubMed:25398877). ITGA5:ITGB1 acts as a receptor for fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and mediates R-G-D-dependent cell adhesion to FBN1 (PubMed:12807887, PubMed:17158881).

Components

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.
