Description

Product Specs

Introduction
PA2G4, a member of the peptidase M24C family, acts as an RNA-binding protein with roles in cellular proliferation and differentiation. It participates in ribosome assembly and regulates rRNA processing as a component of pre-ribosomal ribonucleoprotein complexes. Additionally, PA2G4 interacts with ErbB-3, potentially modulating the ErbB-3 signaling pathway by regulating Neuregulin-1 effects. It also functions as a transcriptional co-repressor of androgen receptor-regulated and cell cycle regulatory genes via interactions with histone deacetylases. PA2G4 has been implicated in inhibiting growth and inducing differentiation in human cancer cells. Moreover, it mediates cap-independent translation of specific viral internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs). PA2G4 associates with mature 28S, 18S, and 5.8S rRNAs, several rRNA precursors, and possibly U3 small nucleolar RNA.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Proliferation-associated protein 2G4 (PA2G4), also known as ErbB3-binding protein 1 (EBP1), is a protein encoded by the PA2G4 gene. This protein plays a crucial role in growth regulation and is involved in various cellular processes, including ribosome assembly and the regulation of rRNA processing .

Gene and Protein Structure

The PA2G4 gene is located on chromosome 12 in humans and chromosome 10 in mice . The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA-binding protein that is present in pre-ribosomal ribonucleoprotein complexes. It has multiple aliases, including EBP1, HG4-1, and p38-2G4 .

Biological Functions

PA2G4 is involved in several key biological processes:

  • Growth Regulation: PA2G4 interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of the ErbB3 receptor, contributing to the transduction of growth regulatory signals .
  • Transcriptional Co-repressor: It acts as a transcriptional co-repressor of androgen receptor-regulated genes and other cell cycle regulatory genes through its interactions with histone deacetylases .
  • Ribosome Assembly: PA2G4 is involved in the regulation of intermediate and late steps of rRNA processing, which is essential for ribosome assembly .
Role in Cancer

PA2G4 has been implicated in the growth inhibition and induction of differentiation of human cancer cells. Interestingly, its expression is decreased in prostate cancer but increased in acute myelogenous leukemia . This dual role highlights its complex involvement in cancer biology.

Mouse Anti-Human PA2G4 Antibody

Mouse anti-human PA2G4 antibodies are used in research to study the protein’s function and its role in various diseases. These antibodies are typically monoclonal and are used in techniques such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence .

Applications in Research
  • Western Blotting: Used to detect PA2G4 protein levels in various cell lysates .
  • Immunoprecipitation: Helps in studying protein-protein interactions involving PA2G4 .
  • Immunofluorescence: Used to visualize the localization of PA2G4 within cells .
