PARP-2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes poly (ADP-ribosyl) transferase-like 2 protein, which contains a catalytic domain and is capable of catalyzing a poly (ADP-ribosyl) ation reaction. This protein has a catalytic domain which is homologous to that of poly (ADP-ribosyl) transferase, but lacks an N-terminal DNA binding domain which activates the C-terminal catalytic domain of poly (ADP-ribosyl) transferase. The basic residues within the N-terminal region of this protein may bear potential DNA-binding properties, and may be involved in the nuclear and/or nucleolar targeting of the protein. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], catalytic activity:NAD (+) + (ADP-D-ribosyl) (n) -acceptor = nicotinamide + (ADP-D-ribosyl) (n+1) -acceptor., function:Involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, by catalyzing the poly (ADP-ribosyl) ation of a limited number of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architecture and in DNA metabolism. This modification follows DNA damages and appears as an obligatory step in a detection/signaling pathway leading to the reparation of DNA strand breaks., PTM:Poly-ADP-ribosylated by PARP1., similarity:Contains 1 PARP alpha-helical domain., similarity:Contains 1 PARP catalytic domain., subunit:Component of a base excision repair (BER) complex, containing at least XRCC1, PARP1, POLB and LIG3. Homo- and heterodimer with PARP1., tissue specificity:Widely expressed, mainly in actively dividing tissues. The highest levels are in the brain, heart, pancreas, skeletal muscle and testis; also detected in kidney, liver, lung, placenta, ovary and spleen; levels are low in leukocytes, colon, small intestine, prostate and thymus.
