Rabbit anti-Human EYA2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O00167

Target Species

Human

Target Name

EYA2

Target Full Name

Protein phosphatase EYA2

Target Function

Functions both as protein phosphatase and as transcriptional coactivator for SIX1, and probably also for SIX2, SIX4 and SIX5. Tyrosine phosphatase that dephosphorylates 'Tyr-142' of histone H2AX (H2AXY142ph) and promotes efficient DNA repair via the recruitment of DNA repair complexes containing MDC1. 'Tyr-142' phosphorylation of histone H2AX plays a central role in DNA repair and acts as a mark that distinguishes between apoptotic and repair responses to genotoxic stress. Its function as histone phosphatase may contribute to its function in transcription regulation during organogenesis. Plays an important role in hypaxial muscle development together with SIX1 and DACH2; in this it is functionally redundant with EYA1.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

HAD-like hydrolase superfamily, EYA family

Target Tissue Specificity

Highest expression in muscle with lower levels in kidney, placenta, pancreas, brain and heart.

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

EAB 1; EAB1; EYA 2; EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2; EYA2; EYA2_HUMAN; eyes absent 2 homolog (Drosophila); Eyes absent homolog 2 (Drosophila); Eyes absent homolog 2; Translation of this uORF probably lowers the translation efficiency of EYA2

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may be post-translationally modified and may play a role in eye development. A similar protein in mice can act as a transcriptional activator. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length natures of all of these variants have not yet been determined.
