Clone Names | 5041554 |
Gene ID | 23463 |
---|---|
Other Names | Protein-S-isoprenylcysteine O-methyltransferase, Isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase, Prenylated protein carboxyl methyltransferase, PPMT, Prenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase, pcCMT, ICMT, PCCMT |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP2543a was selected from the N-term region of human ICMT (N-term). A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ICMT |

Background
This gene encodes the third of three enzymes that posttranslationally modify isoprenylated C-terminal cysteine residues in certain proteins and target those proteins to the cell membrane. This enzyme localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
