Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Required for assembly and stability of the aminoacyl- tRNA synthase complex. Mediates ubiquitination and degradation of FUBP1, a transcriptional activator of MYC, leading to MYC down- regulation which is required for aveolar type II cell differentiation. Blocks MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53/TP53. Functions as a proapoptotic factor. .
Scientific background (datasheet): AIMP2, Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 2, also known as AIMP2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AIMP2 gene. AIMP2 encodes a predicted 312-amino acid protein. The AIMP2 gene is located on chromosome 7p22 flanked by two genes, HRI and PMS2. AIMP2 and HRI overlap slightly and are arranged in a tail-to-tail fashion. AIMP2 and PMS2 are separated by approximately 200 base pairs and are arranged head-to-head. AIMP2 is transcribed in the opposite ion compared to HRI and PMS2. AIMP2 is a scaffold required for the assembly and stability of the multi-tRNA synthetase complex. AIMP2 can work as a mediator of TGF-beta signaling and its functional importance in the control of MYC during lung differentiation.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm, cytosol . Nucleus . Following DNA damage, dissociates from the aminoacyl-tRNA synthase complex and translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 GST C-terminal domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Biology,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Proteasome,Proteasome / Ubiquitin,Proteolysis/Ubiquitin.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
