蛋白名称
Insulin-induced gene 2 protein (INSIG-2)
免疫原
Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 40-120
特异性
INSI2 Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
组成
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
纯化工艺
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
背景
The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the protein product encoded by gene INSIG1. Both INSIG1 protein and this protein are endoplasmic reticulum proteins that block the processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) by binding to SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), and thus prevent SCAP from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi.

功能
function:Mediates feedback control of cholesterol synthesis by controlling SCAP and HMGCR. Functions by blocking the processing of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). CaMABle of retaining the SCAP-SREBF2 complex in the ER thus preventing it from escorting SREBPs to the Golgi. Seems to regulate the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of HMGCR.,miscellaneous:Does not require nuclear SREBPs for its expression. When nuclear SREBP activity is low, is the only form of INSIG present in the cell.,similarity:Belongs to the INSIG family.,subunit:Binds to the SCAP-SREBF2 complex only in the presence of sterols.,
