ADSS polyclonal antibody

Cellular signal transduction pathways are initiated by the binding of external signals, such as steroids, charged-small molecules or proteins, to their respective receptors. These signaling pathways are important in eliciting a cellular response to external stimuli. Proteins involved in signaling pathways may have several different regulatory and/or enzymatic functions, including recruitment, activation, phosphorylation, maintenance and transport. Mutations in these pathways may be implicated in a variety of diseases, suggesting that these intermediary proteins may be potential therapeutic targets. Adenylosuccinate synthetase 2 (AdSS2 or AMPSase 2) is important in the AMP biosynthesis pathway (purine nucleotide biosynthesis). It is a cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the adenylosuccinate synthetase family of proteins. AdSS2 can form homodimers.
