Gene Information

human ... ELAC2(60528)

General description

ELAC2 (ElaC ribonuclease Z 2) is a cytosolic protein encoding a long form of RNase Z. It is expressed in the mitochondria and located at chromosome 17p11.

Immunogen

Zinc phosphodiesterase ELAC protein 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

ELAC2 (ElaC ribonuclease Z 2) is a cytosolic protein located at chromosome 17p11. It acts as a metal-dependent hydrolase in the cell-cycle progression. In DNA repair system, it helps in DNA inter-strand crosslinking and mRNA editing. It also exerts 3′-tRNase activity in the γ-tubulin interaction. It has been proved that variants of ELAC2, Ser217Leu and Ala541Thr, are linked with prostate cancer risk. Homozygous missense mutation in ELAC2 is also associated with infantile-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, encephalopathy, and lactic acidosis.

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.

Polymorphisms in the elaC homolog-2 (ELAC2)/HPC2 gene have been hypothesized to alter the risk of prostate cancer. However, the results of the related published studies remained conflicting. We performed a meta-analysis of 18 studies evaluating the association between ELAC2 Ser217Leu
