Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 (CPEB2) is an RNA binding protein that regulates cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation of mRNAs in germ cells and neural cells. CPEB2 is involved in the regulation of the oxygen homoeostasis transcriptional master regulator gene hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1).
Specificity
Anti-CPEB2 polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, chicken, canine, pig, human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 proteins.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human CPEB2
Application
Anti-CPEB2 polyclonal antibody is used to tag cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of CPEB2 in the regulation of mRNA transcription in germ cells and neural cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CPEB2 is highly similar to cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein (CPEB), an mRNA-binding protein that regulates cytoplasmic polyadenylation of mRNA as a trans factor in oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Studies of the similar gene in mice suggested a possible role of this protein in transcriptionally inactive haploid spermatids.
