Gene Information

human ... CHAC2(494143)

General description

Glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase 2 (ChaC2) belongs to the ChaC family of γ-glutamylcyclotransferases. It carries a methionine (Met) residue at the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human CHAC2

Application

Anti-CHAC2, (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase 2 (ChaC2) helps in degrading glutathione in the cytosol of mammals. In pathways that are independent of ChaC1, ChaC2 would disrupt the expression of nuclear erythroid-2-like factor (Nrf2) and glutamate cysteine ligase. Upregulation of ChaC2 gene can prevent the proliferation of cells. It may be considered as a candidate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in gastrointestinal cancer.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MWVFGYGSLIWKVDFPYQDKLVGYITNYSRRFWQGSTDHRGVPGKPGRVV

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Glutathione (GSH) degradation plays an essential role in GSH homeostasis, which regulates cell survival, especially in cancer cells. Among human GSH degradation enzymes, the ChaC2 enzyme acts on GSH to form 5-l-oxoproline and Cys-Gly specifically in the cytosol. Here, we

Tumor suppressor genes play a key role in cancer pathogenesis. Through massive expression profiling we identified CHAC2 as a frequently downregulated gene in gastric and colorectal cancers. Immunohistochemistry and western blot revealed that CHAC2 was downregulated in most tumor tissues

Glutathione degradation plays an important role in glutathione and redox homeostasis, and thus it is imperative to understand the enzymes and the mechanisms involved in glutathione degradation in detail. We describe here ChaC2, a member of the ChaC family of
