Anti-p23/PTGES3 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 9D3D1)

Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (cytosolic) is anenzymethat in humans is encoded by the PTGES3gene. It is mapped to 12q13.3; 12. This gene encodes an enzyme that converts prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) . This protein functions as a co-chaperone with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), localizing to response elements in DNA and disrupting transcriptional activation complexes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. There are multiple pseudogenes of this gene on several different chromosomes.

SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 2; Anthracycline-associated resistance ARX; Ubiquitin-like 1-activating enzyme E1B; Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 2; UBA2; SAE2, UBLE1B; HRIHFB2115

The heterodimer acts as an E1 ligase for SUMO1, SUMO2, SUMO3, and probably SUMO4. It mediates ATP-dependent activation of SUMO proteins followed by formation of a thioester bond between a SUMO protein and a conserved active site cysteine residue on UBA2/SAE2.
