SIRT2 is a member of the SIR2 / Sirtuin family of NAD-dependant deacetylase enzymes. It has multiple targets for deacetylation, including tubulin, P53, HOXA10, FOXO3A, P300, FOXO1. SIRT2 suppresses adipogenesis by deacetylating FOXO1, promoting the binding of FOXO1 to PPARg and subsequent repression of PPARg mediated transcriptional activation. Similar to SIRT1, SIRT2 also deacetylates H4AcK16 similar to SIRT1, SIRT2 deacetylates histone H4 at lysine 16. SIRT2 is present in the cytoplasm during most of the cell cycle except in the G2/M transition and in mitosis, where it is found in the nucleus and in contact with chromatin and required for exit from mitosis. SIRT2 antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Immunoprecipitation and Western blot, it has been shown to react with Human samples.
Purification
Affinity Purified
Immunogen
This SIRT2 antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human SIRT2.
Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.
