Rabbit anti-Human STMN2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q93045

Target Species

Human

Target Name

STMN2

Target Full Name

Stathmin-2

Target Function

Regulator of microtubule stability. When phosphorylated by MAPK8, stabilizes microtubules and consequently controls neurite length in cortical neurons. In the developing brain, negatively regulates the rate of exit from multipolar stage and retards radial migration from the ventricular zone.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell projection, growth cone. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, axon. Golgi apparatus. Endosome. Cell projection, lamellipodium.

Target Protein Families

Stathmin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Neuron specific.

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Synonyms

Neuron specific growth associated protein; Neuronal growth associated protein; Neuronal growth associated protein (silencer element); Protein SCG10; SCG 10; SCG10; SCG10 protein; SCGN 10; SCGN10; SGC 10; SGC10; Stathmin 2; Stathmin like 2; Stathmin-2; STMN 2; STMN2; STMN2_HUMAN; Superior cervical ganglia neural specific 10; Superior cervical ganglion 10 protein; Superior cervical ganglion-10 protein; Superiorcervical ganglia neural specific 10

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the stathmin family of phosphoproteins. Stathmin proteins function in microtubule dynamics and signal transduction. The encoded protein plays a regulatory role in neuronal growth and is also thought to be involved in osteogenesis. Reductions in the expression of this gene have been associated with Down's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6.
