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.

Application 
| WB, E |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | Q9H7Z7 |
| Reactivity | Mouse |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | polyclonal |
| Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Calculated MW | 41943 Da |
| Gene ID | 80142 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Prostaglandin E synthase 2, Membrane-associated prostaglandin E synthase-2, mPGE synthase-2, Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 2, mPGES-2, Prostaglandin-H(2) E-isomerase, Prostaglandin E synthase 2 truncated form, PTGES2, C9orf15, PGES2 |
| Target/Specificity | This PTGES2 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 113-146 amino acids from the Central region of human PTGES2. |
| Dilution | WB~~1:2000 |
| Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
| 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 | PTGES2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | PTGES2 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | C9orf15, PGES2 |
| Function | Isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 into the more stable prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (in vitro) (PubMed:12804604, PubMed:18198127, PubMed:17585783). The biological function and the GSH- dependent property of PTGES2 is still under debate (PubMed:18198127, PubMed:17585783). In vivo, PTGES2 could form a complex with GSH and heme and would not participate in PGE2 synthesis but would catalyze the degradation of prostaglandin E2 H2 (PGH2) to 12(S)-hydroxy- 5(Z),8(E),10(E)-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (PubMed:17585783) (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed in the heart, including apex, inter-ventricular septum, both atria and ventricles, but not in the aorta. Also expressed in fetal heart. Detected in various regions of the brain: cerebellum; occipital, frontal and parietal lobes. Also expressed in the lymph nodes, skeletal muscle, kidney and trachea, but not in the thymus or lung. Overexpressed in colorectal cancer |
