Precautions | PACS2 Antibody (Internal) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PACS2 (HGNC:23794) |
---|---|
Synonyms | KIAA0602, PACS1L |
Function | Multifunctional sorting protein that controls the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria communication, including the apposition of mitochondria with the ER and ER homeostasis. In addition, in response to apoptotic inducer, translocates BIB to mitochondria, which initiates a sequence of events including the formation of mitochondrial truncated BID, the release of cytochrome c, the activation of caspase-3 thereby causing cell death. May also be involved in ion channel trafficking, directing acidic cluster-containing ion channels to distinct subcellular compartments. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion |
Tissue Location | Broadly expressed, with greatest levels in skeletal muscle followed by heart, brain, pancreas and testis |
