CtBP2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene produces alternative transcripts encoding two distinct proteins. One protein is a transcriptional repressor, while the other isoform is a major component of specialized synapses known as synaptic ribbons. Both proteins contain a NAD+ binding domain similar to NAD+-dependent 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. A portion of the 3' untranslated region was used to map this gene to chromosome 21q21.3; however, it was noted that similar loci elsewhere in the genome are likely. Blast analysis shows that this gene is present on chromosome 10. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014], function:Corepressor targeting diverse transcription regulators. Isoform 2 probably acts as a scaffold for specialized synapses., PTM:Isoform 2 is phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR at Thr-179; Ser-181 and Ser-185. Phosphorylation by HIPK2 on Ser-428 induces proteasomal degradation., similarity:Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family., subunit:Interacts with the C-terminus of adenovirus E1A protein. Can form homodimers or heterodimers of CTBP1 and CTBP2. Interacts with HIPK2 (By similarity) . Interacts with PNN, NRIP1 and WIZ., tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas.
