General description

The gene sestrin-2 (SENS2) is mapped to human chromosome 1p35.3. SENS2 belongs to sestrin family of conserved antioxidant proteins.

Immunogen

Sestrin-2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

In mammalian cells, sestrin-2 (SENS2) decreases oxidative stress by facilitating the peroxidase activity of over-oxidised peroxiredoxins. SENS2 is highly expressed in the emphysematous lungs of humans with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lungs of habitual smokers. Mutational inactivation of SENS2 in mice prevents the development of cigarette-smoke-induced pulmonary emphysema by inducing an increase in PDGFRβ (platelet-derived growth factor receptor β) signaling. Absence of SENS2 prepares squamous cell carcinoma cells to 5-fluorouracil-induced apoptosis and melanoma cells to UV (ultraviolet)B- and vemurafenib-induced apoptosis, suggesting oncogenic role of SENS2. Overexpression of SENS2 in adipose tissues inhibits uncoupling protein-1 expression, resulting in decreased thermogenesis and increased fat accumulation.
Stimulation of dopamine D2 receptor increase endogenous renal SENS2 expression which protects against oxidative stress and is involved in the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Similarly, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Jun pathway increases SENS2 activity, protecting against vascular endothelial damage induced by angiotensin II.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
