Anti-SBDS Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Ribosome maturation protein SBDS is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SBDS gene. This gene encodes a highly conserved protein that plays an essential role in ribosome biogenesis. The encoded protein interacts with elongation factor-like GTPase 1 to disassociate eukaryotic initiation factor 6 from the late cytoplasmic pre-60S ribosomal subunit allowing assembly of the 80S subunit. Mutations within this gene are associated with the autosomal recessive disorder Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome. This gene has a closely linked pseudogene that is distally located.

Caspase-2; CASP-2; Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 2; NEDD-2; Protease ICH-1; Caspase-2 subunit p18; Caspase-2 subunit p13; Caspase-2 subunit p12; CASP2; ICH1; NEDD2

Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle.

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival.
