Rabbit anti-Human ING2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9H160

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ING2

Target Full Name

Inhibitor of growth protein 2

Target Function

Seems to be involved in p53/TP53 activation and p53/TP53-dependent apoptotic pathways, probably by enhancing acetylation of p53/TP53. Component of a mSin3A-like corepressor complex, which is probably involved in deacetylation of nucleosomal histones. ING2 activity seems to be modulated by binding to phosphoinositides (PtdInsPs).

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Note=Predominantly nuclear. Localized to chromatin and nuclear matrix. Upon reduced PtdIns(5)P levels seems to be released from chromatin and, at least partially, translocated to the cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

ING family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Higher expressed in colon-cancer tumor than in normal colon tissues.

Target Synonyms

ING 1 like tumor suppressor protein; ING 1L; ING 2; ING1 like tumor suppressor protein; ING1L; ING1Lp; ING2; ING2_HUMAN; Inhibitor of growth 1 like; Inhibitor of growth 1 like protein; Inhibitor of growth 1-like protein; Inhibitor of growth family member 1 like; Inhibitor of growth family member 2; Inhibitor of growth protein 2; p32; p33 ING2; p33ING2

Target Background

This gene is a member of the inhibitor of growth (ING) family. Members of the ING family associate with and modulate the activity of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes and function in DNA repair and apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
