AIMP2 was initially identified as a part of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthesase complex. It was later discovered to be a cofactor and substrate of Parkin, a Ring-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that is important for the survival of dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease; accumulation of AIMP2 in these cells lead to catecholaminergic cell death. AIMP2 can also bind to TRAF2, a key player in the TNF-alpha signaling pathway, causing the ubiquitination of TRAF2 by cIAP1, leading to TNF-alpha-dependent apoptosis. Finally, AIMP2 has been suggested to function as a tumor suppressor.

TRAF3IP3 stimulated cell growth by modulating the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. TRAF3 interacts with Smac/DIABLO via TRAF domain, leading to an increased proapoptotic effect of Smac/DIABLO in cytoplasm.

CCP110 Antibody: CCP110 is a centrosomal protein required for the centrosome to function as a microtubule organizing center and plays an essential role in centrosome duplication. It is a target of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs); disruption of CCP110 phosphorylation leads to unscheduled centrosome separation and polyploidy. CCP110 is also a target of SCF (Cyclin F) ubiquitin ligase complex, leading to its degradation, suggesting that this complex controls centrosome homeostasis and mitotic fidelity through CCP110 degradation. The centriolar kinesin Kif24 also interacts with CP110 and remodel microtubules and regulate ciliogenesis.

The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are key receptors in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They are implicated in many forms of neural plasticity as well as learning and memory and drug abuse. Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (consisting of mGluR1 and mGluR5) are G-protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors that are localized in the perisynaptic region of the postsynaptic membrane. When activated, Group I mGluRs lead to stimulation of phospholipase and activation of Protein Kinase C. In contrast activation of Group II metabotropic receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3) leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

SRPX2 Antibody: Sushi-repeat-containing protein X-linked 2 (SRPX2) is a neural gene functioning in the speech and language center of the human brain; mutations in this gene lead to epilepsy, speech dyspraxia, mental retardation and cognitive disorders. Recently, SRPX2 was found to be a novel mediator of angiogenesis and can act as a ligand for the urokinase-type plasminogen activator, a protein that can facilitate invasive migration of sprouting endothelial cells. SRPX2 is also overexpressed in gastric cancer, leading to increased phosphorylation levels of focal adhesion kinase and enhanced cellular migration and adhesion, suggesting that SRPX2 may be a potential target in the treatment of metastatic cancers.

The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.

Adapter protein, which negatively regulates T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Inhibits T-cell antigen-receptor induced activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells. Involved in the negative regulation of positive selection and mitosis of T-cells. May act by linking signaling proteins such as ZAP70 with CBL, leading to a CBL dependent degradation of signaling proteins.

The Ber-H2 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with human CD30, a 120kDA type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFR) also known as the Ki-1 antigen. CD30 can elicit signals leading to either activation or apoptosis through interaction with CD30 ligand (CD30L). It is expressed by a subset of extrafollicular activated B and T cells, lung macrophages, activated NK cells, lymphomas, and endothelial cells. It is highly expressed on Hodgkins and Reed-Sternberg cells.

PRTFDC1 belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. Epigenetic silencing of PRTFDC1 by hypermethylation of the CpG islands leads to a loss of PRTFDC1 function, which might be involved in squamous cell oral carcinogenesis.

Inhibits NF kappa B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. May be involved in regulation of transcriptional responses to NF kappa B, including cell adhesion, immune and proinflammatory responses, apoptosis, differentiation and growth. Controlled by sequential serine phosphorylation, ubiquitination and degradation. Tyrosine phosphorylation could only lead to dissociation from NF kappa B.

This is the receptor for stem cell factor (mast cell growth factor). It has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Binding of the ligands leads to the autophosphorylation of KIT and its association with substrates such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pi3K)

Supplier: Prosci

Acts as part of the IKK complex in the conventional pathway of NF-κ-B activation and phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-κ-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-κ-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor. Also phosphorylates NCOA3.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are organized into high-density postsynaptic clusters at the motor endplate that are critical for efficient synaptic transmission. The organization of AChR’s is carried out by the 43 kDa cytoplasmic protein rapsyn. Studies have indicated that mutations which impair the activity of rapsyn can lead to the formation of congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS). CMS is characterized by poor development of the postsynaptic region.

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Binding of caspase-9 to Apaf-1 leads to activation of the protease which then cleaves and activates caspase-3. Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Isoform 2 lacks activity is an dominant-negative inhibitor of caspase-9.

CD95, also known as FAS or APO-1, is a 36 kDa cell surface type I- membrane glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 44 kDa on SDS-PAGE. CD95 is a member of the TNF receptor family, which includes TNFR-1, TNFR-2, CD27, CD30 and CD40. Binding of CD95 Ligand to CD95 or crosslinking of CD95 by anti-CD95 monoclonal antibodies leads to apoptosis of CD95 expressing cells. CD95 belongs to a subgroup of family members that have a death domain (DD) which contains 70 amino acids near the carboxyl-terminal region of the molecule. The binding of adaptor molecules to this DD is responsible for transmitting the death signal for apoptosis. Stimulation of CD95 results in aggregation of its DD, leading to the recruitment of FADD and caspase-8 that together with the receptor form the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC).
