Rabbit Anti-CAPRIN2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Caprin2 is 1127 amino acid highly conserved protein that is ubiquitously expressed with highest levels of expression in brain and spleen. Caprin2 stabilizes cytosolic β-catenin and enhances LEF-1 dependent reporter gene activity as well as the expression of Wnt target genes in mammalian cells. Caprin2 promotes LRP5/6 phosphorylation by GSK-3 and enhances the interaction between Axin and LRP5/6. It is suggested that Caprin2 functions as a proapoptotic inhibitor of the cell cycle. Nine isoforms of Caprin2 exist due to alternative splicing events.
Function:
May regulate the transport and translation of mRNAs, modulating for instance the expression of proteins involved in synaptic plasticity in neurons. Involved in regulation of growth as erythroblasts shift from a highly proliferative state towards their terminal phase of differentiation. May be involved in apoptosis.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm; Mitochondrion. Colocalizes with aggregated mitochondria and Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm. Expressed throughout the cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected in all tissues tested with highest levels of expression in brain and spleen.
Similarity:
Belongs to the caprin family.
Contains 1 C1q domain.
