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.
HMGCS2 Antibody (C-term) Blocking Peptide
Synthetic peptide
- SPECIFICATION
- CITATIONS
- PROTOCOLS
- BACKGROUND
| Primary Accession | P54868 |
|---|---|
| Clone Names | 80513200 |
| Gene ID | 3158 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, mitochondrial, HMG-CoA synthase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase, HMGCS2 |
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6793b was selected from the C-term region of human HMGCS2. 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 | HMGCS2 |
|---|---|
| Function | Catalyzes the first irreversible step in ketogenesis, condensing acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is converted by HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) into mevalonate. |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P22791}. |
| Tissue Location | Expression in liver is 200-fold higher than in any other tissue. Low expression in colon, kidney, testis, and pancreas Very low expression in heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:7893153, PubMed:21952825, PubMed:16940161). Not detected in brain (PubMed:21952825). |

Background
HMGCS2 belongs to the HMG-CoA synthase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction of ketogenesis, a metabolic pathway that provides lipid-derived energy for various organs during times of carbohydrate deprivation, such as fasting.
