Rabbit Anti-IMPDH2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Rate limiting enzyme in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides and therefore is involved in the regulation of cell growth. It may also have a role in the development of malignancy and the growth progression of some tumors.
Function:
Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. Could also have a single-stranded nucleic acid-binding activity and could play a role in RNA and/or DNA metabolism. It may also have a role in the development of malignancy and the growth progression of some tumors.
Subunit:
Homotetramer.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
IMP type I is the main species in normal leukocytes and type II predominates over type I in the tumor.
Post-translational modifications:
The N-terminus is blocked.
Similarity:
Belongs to the IMPDH/GMPR family.
Contains 2 CBS domains.
