Rabbit anti-Human CISD2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q8N5K1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CISD2

Target Full Name

CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2

Target Function

Regulator of autophagy that contributes to antagonize BECN1-mediated cellular autophagy at the endoplasmic reticulum. Participates in the interaction of BCL2 with BECN1 and is required for BCL2-mediated depression of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores during autophagy. Contributes to BIK-initiated autophagy, while it is not involved in BIK-dependent activation of caspases. Involved in life span control, probably via its function as regulator of autophagy.

Target Involvement

Wolfram syndrome 2 (WFS2)

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Note=According to PubMed:20010695, it mainly localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. However, experiments in mouse showed that it mainly localizes to the mitochondrion outer membrane.

Target Protein Families

CISD protein family, CISD2 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Testis, small intestine, kidney, lung, brain, heart, pancreas and platelets.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein binds an iron/sulfur cluster and may be involved in calcium homeostasis. Defects in this gene are a cause of Wolfram syndrome 2.
