Rabbit anti-Human PRMT2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P55345

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PRMT2

Target Full Name

Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2

Target Function

Arginine methyltransferase that methylates the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in proteins such as STAT3, FBL, histone H4. Acts as a coactivator (with NCOA2) of the androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transactivation. Acts as a coactivator (with estrogen) of estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated transactivation. Enhances PGR, PPARG, RARA-mediated transactivation. May inhibit NF-kappa-B transcription and promote apoptosis. Represses E2F1 transcriptional activity (in a RB1-dependent manner). May be involved in growth regulation.

Target Subcellular Location

Note=Excluded from nucleolus.; [Isoform PRMT2Beta]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus.; [Isoform PRMT2Gamma]: Nucleus. Note=Excluded from nucleolus.; [Isoform PRMT2L2]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic.

Target Protein Families

Class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily, Protein arginine N-methyltransferase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Highly expressed in androgen target organs such as heart, prostate, skeletal muscle, ovary and spinal cord.

Target Background

Enables several functions, including nuclear receptor binding activity; peroxisome proliferator activated receptor binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including histone methylation; regulation of androgen receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm.
