DUS2L rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse

Backgroud: dihydrouridine synthase 2(DUS2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein that catalyzes the conversion of uridine residues to dihydrouridine in the D-loop of tRNA. The resulting modified bases confer enhanced regional flexibility to tRNA. The encoded protein may increase the rate of translation by inhibiting an interferon-induced protein kinase. This gene has been implicated in pulmonary carcinogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012],cofactor:FAD.,function:Dihydrouridine synthase. Catalyzes the synthesis of dihydrouridine, a modified base found in the D-loop of most tRNAs.,similarity:Belongs to the dus family. Dus2 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domain.,subcellular location:Mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum.,subunit:Interacts with EPRS.,tissue specificity:Weak expression in heart, placenta and skeletal muscle. Up-regulated in most lung cancer cells (at protein level).,
