The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the antizyme inhibitor family, which plays a role in cell growth and proliferation by maintaining polyamine homeostasis within the cell. Antizyme inhibitors are homologs of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, the key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis) that have lost the ability to decarboxylase ornithine; however, retain the ability to bind to antizymes. Antizymes negatively regulate intracellular polyamine levels by binding to ODC and targeting it for degradation, as well as by inhibiting polyamine uptake. Antizyme inhibitors function as positive regulators of polyamine levels by sequestering antizymes and neutralizing their effect. This gene encodes antizyme inhibitor 2, the second member of this gene family. Like AZIN1, AZIN2 interacts with all three antizymes and stimulates ODC activity and polyamine uptake. However, unlike AZIN1, which is ubiquitously expressed and localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm, AZIN2 is predominantly expressed in the brain and testis and localized in the endoplasmic reticulum-golgi intermediate compartment. Recent studies indicate that AZIN2 is also expressed in specific cell types in ovaries, adrenal glands and pancreas, and in mast cells. The exact function of this gene is not known, however, available data suggest its role in cell growth, spermiogenesis, vesicular trafficking and secretion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePrimary antibody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFormulation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAntigen affinity purified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHost Animal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eRabbit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eClonality\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePolyclonal (rabbit origin)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eIsotype\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eRabbit IgG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSpecies Reactivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHuman, Mouse, Rat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eWB, IHC-P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eApplication Details\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eWestern blot: 0.5-1ug\/ml,IHC (FFPE): 1-2ug\/ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eApplication Note\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eDifferences in protocols and secondary\/substrate sensitivity may require the AZIN2 antibody to be titrated for optimal performance.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLocalization\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePredominantly nuclear, possible cytoplasmic staining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAmino acids C111-Q301 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the AZIN2 antibody.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBuffer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLyophilized from 1X PBS with 2.5% BSA and 0.025% sodium azide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAntigen affinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left; vertical-align:top; padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAfter reconstitution, the AZIN2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC.
