Target/Specificity | This METAP2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 10-40 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human METAP2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | METAP2 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | METAP2 {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03175} |
---|---|
Synonyms | MNPEP, P67EIF2 |
Function | Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met- Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). The catalytic activity of human METAP2 toward Met-Val peptides is consistently two orders of magnitude higher than that of METAP1, suggesting that it is responsible for processing proteins containing N-terminal Met-Val and Met-Thr sequences in vivo. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03175, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21537465}. Note=About 30% of expressed METAP2 associates with polysomes |

Background
The ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) family are highly conserved members of the Ras superfamily of regulatory GTP-binding proteins. Arf proteins participate in routing of intracellular proteins to and within the Golgi complex. Cellular functions include maintenance of organelle integrity, coat protein assembly, as an activator of phospholipase D. The Arf family is divided functionally into the Arf and the Arf-like (Arl) proteins. The ARF proteins are categorized as class I (ARF1, ARF2,and ARF3), class II (ARF4 and ARF5) and class III (ARF6) and members of each class share a common gene organization.
