Rabbit Anti-ICMT/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Catalyzes the post-translational methylation of isoprenylated SLCterminal cysteine residues.
Tissue specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed at higher levels in the cerebellum and putamen than in other brain regions. Abundant expression seen in the Purkinje cells and pontine neurons.
Function:
Catalyzes the post-translational methylation of isoprenylated SLCterminal cysteine residues.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed at higher levels in the cerebellum and putamen than in other brain regions. Abundant expression seen in the Purkinje cells and pontine neurons.
Similarity:
Belongs to the isoprenylcysteine O-methyltransferase family.

Icmt酶是异戊烯途径中的一种关键酶,它能将甲基加到Ras上。这种甲基标签能使Ras到达细胞中的最终目的地,Icmt酶能发送不控制生长的信号,因此,Icmt蛋白在保持细胞中的致癌基因Ras的开启状态中起到重要作用。(Ras是细胞的一种正常的遗传成分,但是这种基因的突变能够致使它促进细胞的失控生长。而且,在一半的结肠癌和90%的胰腺癌中发生了Ras基因突变)。
