| Precautions | IRF2BP2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | IRF2BP2 |
|---|---|
| Function | Acts as a transcriptional corepressor in a IRF2-dependent manner; this repression is not mediated by histone deacetylase activities (PubMed:12799427). Represses the NFAT1-dependent transactivation of NFAT-responsive promoters (PubMed:21576369). Acts as a coactivator of VEGFA expression in cardiac and skeletal muscles (PubMed:20702774). Plays a role in immature B-cell differentiation (PubMed:27016798). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. |

Background
IRF2BP2 Antibody: IRF2BP2, like the related protein IRF2BP1, is a co-repressor that interacts specifically with the C-terminal repression domain of Interferon Regulatory Factor 2 (IRF2). IRF2BP2 is a direct target gene of p53 and is involved in cell survival during the p53 stress response, able to impede the p53-mediated transactivation of p21 and Bax. IRF2BP2 is also a co-factor of VGLL4 and is required to induce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in muscle. It is normally found in the nucleus of skeletal muscle and cardiac cells, but can be found in the cytoplasm during skeletal muscle differentiation.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
