Rabbit Anti-ELAC2/HPC2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ELAC2 is a zinc phosphodiesterase which displays some tRNA 3' processing endonuclease activity. It is thought to be involved in tRNA maturation, acting by removing a 3' trailer from precursor tRNA. ELAC2 also interacts with activated Smad family member 2 (Smad2) and its nuclear partner forkhead box H1 (also known as FAST-1), and reduced expression can suppress transforming growth factor-beta induced growth arrest. Mutations in this gene result in an increased risk of prostate cancer. A number of allelic variants have been investigated in hereditary prostate cancer.
Function:
Zinc phosphodiesterase, which displays mitochondrial tRNA 3'-processing endonuclease activity. Involved in tRNA maturation, by removing a 3'-trailer from precursor tRNA.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Interacts with PTCD1.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion. Nucleus. Note=Mainly mitochondrial.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Highly expressed in heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in brain, lung, spleen, thymus, prostate, small intestine, colon and leukocytes.
Similarity:
Belongs to the RNase Z family.
