anti-SIRT2 Antibody

SIRT2

SIRT2, SIR2, SIR2L, SIR2L2

The sirtuins represent a distinct class of trichostatin A-insensitive lysyl-deacetylases (class III HDACs) and have been shown to catalyze a reaction that couples lysine deacetylation to the formation of nicotinamide and O-acetyl-ADP-ribose from NAD+ and the abstracted acetyl group. This SIRT family of genes is highly conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and is involved in diverse processes including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, DNA damage repair and aging. SIRT2, a human homolog of the yeast SIR2 (silent information regulator­2), functions as transcriptional silencing mediator at mating­type loci, telomeres and ribosomal gene clusters. SIRT2 expression increases dramatically during mitosis and is multiply phosphorylated at the G (2)/M transition of the cell cycle. SIRT2 is part of a phosphorylation cascade where it is phosphorylated late in G (2), during M, and into the period of cytokinesis. Inhibition of SIRT2 is reported to rescue alpha­synuclein toxicity and modify inclusion morphology in a cellular model of Parkinson's disease.

N/A

Liquid

100 µg of antibody in 100 µl PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol, pH 7.3

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunohistochemistry

Western blot: 1:500 – 1:2000 dilution, IHC: 1:50 - 1:200 dilution. However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
