Products METAP2 (methionyl aminopeptidase 2) Blocking Peptide (100ug)
| Presku: | AAP52266 |
| Size: | 100 ug |
| Weight: | 53kDa |
| Gene: | 10988 |
| Format: | Lyophilized powder |
| Target: | METAP2 is a member of the methionyl aminopeptidase family and encodes a protein that binds 2 cobalt or manganese ions. This protein functions both by protecting the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 from inhibitory phosphorylation and by removing the amino-terminal methionine residue from nascent protein. Increased expression of this gene is associated with various forms of cancer and the anti-cancer drugs fumagillin and ovalicin inhibit the protein by irreversibly binding to its active site.This gene is a member of the methionyl aminopeptidase family and encodes a protein that binds 2 cobalt or manganese ions.
