TTYH2 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

TTYH2 Antibody: TTYH2 is a member of the tweety family of proteins, a family of chloride anion channels containing five transmembrane regions. TTYH2 is a Ca2+-activated large conductance chloride (Cl-) channel and may play a role in kidney tumorigenesis. It is also upregulated in colon carcinoma and is thought to play a role in cell proliferation and call aggregation, suggesting that TTYH2 may play a role in regulating both proliferation and metastatic potentials of colorectal cancer. The ubiquitin-protein ligase Nedd4-2 binds to and ubiquitinates TTYH2, thereby regulating its cell surface expression and total cellular levels.
