Rabbit anti-Human CNOT2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NZN8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CNOT2

Target Full Name

CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 2

Target Function

Component of the CCR4-NOT complex which is one of the major cellular mRNA deadenylases and is linked to various cellular processes including bulk mRNA degradation, miRNA-mediated repression, translational repression during translational initiation and general transcription regulation. Additional complex functions may be a consequence of its influence on mRNA expression. Required for the CCR4-NOT complex structural integrity. Can repress transcription and may link the CCR4-NOT complex to transcriptional regulation; the repressive function may specifically involve the N-Cor repressor complex containing HDAC3, NCOR1 and NCOR2. Involved in the maintenance of embryonic stem (ES) cell identity.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

CNOT2/3/5 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in brain, heart, thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, small intestine, placenta, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Target Synonyms

CCR4 associated factor 2; CCR4 NOT transcription complex subunit 2; CCR4-associated factor 2; CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 2; CDC36; CNOT2; CNOT2_HUMAN; HSPC131; MSTP046; Negative regulator of transcription 2; NOT2 (negative regulator of transcription 2 yeast) homolog; NOT2; NOT2H

Target Background

This gene encodes a subunit of the multi-component CCR4-NOT complex. The CCR4-NOT complex regulates mRNA synthesis and degradation and is also thought to be involved in mRNA splicing, transport and localization. The encoded protein interacts with histone deacetylases and functions as a repressor of polymerase II transcription. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.
