TYW2 Antibody: TYW2, TRM12, TYW2, tRNA wybutosine-synthesizing protein 2 homolog, Alpha-amino-alpha-carboxypropyl transferase TYW2, tRNA-yW-synthesizing protein 2
Product description
TYW2 Antibody: TYW2, also known as TRM12, is an enzyme that participates in the wybutosine-tRNA (Phe) biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TYW2 is involved in a multistep enzymatic reaction that stabilizes codon-anticodon base-pairing during the ribosomal decoding process, thereby ensuring correct translation. TYW2 was found to be amplified in 7 of 8 breast cancers cell lines analyzed, and qPCR analysis of 30 breast tumors showed overexpression of TYW2 mRNA of over 2-fold in 26, suggesting that TYW2 may play a role in breast cancer.1) Noma A and Suzuki T. Ribonucleome analysis identified enzyme genes responsible for wybutosine synthesis. Nucleic Acids Symp. Ser. (Oxf) 2006; 65-6
Immunogen
TYW2 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human TYW2. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of TYW2.
