Anti-PDCD2 Antibody Picoband® HRP Conjugated

This gene encodes a nuclear protein expressed in a variety of tissues. Expression of this gene has been shown to be repressed by B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor required for lymph node germinal center development, suggesting that BCL6 regulates apoptosis by its effects on this protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants and pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 9 and 12.

E.coli-derived human PDCD2 recombinant protein (Position: R7-Q254) . Human PDCD2 shares 82.2% and 81.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PDCD2, respectively.
