TYW2 Antibody
Catalog Number: 25315
Technical:tech@swbio.com
Information:info@swbio.com
Description
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at 4 ˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human TYW2.
- other_names:
- TYW2, Radical S-adenosyl methionine and flavodoxin domain-containing protein 2, tRNA wybutosine-synthesizing protein 2 homolog, TRM12, TRMT12
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- Specificity:
- TYW2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other TYW protein family members. At least two isoforms of TYW2 are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms
- Background:
- TYW2, also known as TRM12, is an enzyme that participates in the wybutosine-tRNA (Phe) biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TYW2 is involved in a multistep enzymatic reaction that stabilizes codon-anticodon base-pairing during the ribosomal decoding process, thereby ensuring correct translation. TYW2 was found to be amplified in 7 of 8 breast cancers cell lines analyzed, and qPCR analysis of 30 breast tumors showed overexpression of TYW2 mRNA of over 2-fold in 26, suggesting that TYW2 may play a role in breast cancer.
