Rkhd2 Antibody: RKHD2, BM-013, MEX-3C, RNF194, RKHD2, RNA-binding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MEX3C, RING finger and KH domain-containing protein 2
Product description
Rkhd2 Antibody: Rkhd2, also known as MEX3C is a member of a novel family of four homologous human MEX3 proteins each containing two heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology (KH) domains and one carboxy-terminal RING finger module. MEX3 proteins, including Rkhd2, are phosphoproteins that bind RNA through their KH domains and shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm via the CRM1 export pathway. These proteins are a novel family of evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding proteins, differentially recruited to P bodies and potentially involved in post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. It has been suggested that genetic variations in Rkhd2 may be associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension type 8. Rkhd3 and Rkhd4, but not Rkhd2, co-localize with both the hDcp1a decapping factor and Argonaute (Ago) proteins in processing bodies (P bodies), recently characterized as centers of mRNA turnover.1) Draper BW, Mello CC, Bowerman B, et al. MEX-3 is a KH domain protein that regulates blastomere identity in early C. elegansembryos. Cell1996; 87:205-16.
Immunogen
Rkhd2 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human RKHD2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 540 - 590 of Rkhd2.
