Rabbit anti-Human TNKS2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9H2K2

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TNKS2

Target Full Name

Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase tankyrase-2

Target Function

Poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase involved in various processes such as Wnt signaling pathway, telomere length and vesicle trafficking. Acts as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating poly-ADP-ribosylation of AXIN1 and AXIN2, 2 key components of the beta-catenin destruction complex: poly-ADP-ribosylated target proteins are recognized by RNF146, which mediates their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Also mediates poly-ADP-ribosylation of BLZF1 and CASC3, followed by recruitment of RNF146 and subsequent ubiquitination. Mediates poly-ADP-ribosylation of TERF1, thereby contributing to the regulation of telomere length. Stimulates 26S proteasome activity.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Nucleus. Chromosome, telomere. Note=Associated with the Golgi and with juxtanuclear SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles. Also found around the pericentriolar matrix of mitotic centromeres. During interphase, a small fraction of TNKS2 is found in the nucleus, associated with TRF1.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in placenta, skeletal muscle, liver, brain, kidney, heart, thymus, spinal cord, lung, peripheral blood leukocytes, pancreas, lymph nodes, spleen, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, mammary gland, breast and breast carcinoma,

Target Background

Enables NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; enzyme binding activity; and protein ADP-ribosylase activity. Involved in several processes, including protein ADP-ribosylation; protein localization to chromosome, telomeric region; and regulation of telomere maintenance. Located in nuclear envelope; pericentriolar material; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm.
