Folliculin interacting protein 2 (FNIP2) is a 125.6kDa protein expressed in the cytoplasm.
Immunogen
FNIP2 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human FNIP2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Folliculin interacting protein 2 (FNIP2) induces apoptosis. It associates with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and folliculin (FLCN). The protein also has a role in the O6-methylguanine-induced apoptosis signaling pathway.

Target description
FNIP2 is the second protein found to interact with folliculin, the product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) gene. Folliculin is thought to act as a tumor suppressor as mutations or loss of heterozygosity in this gene are associated with BHD syndrome-related renal tumors. Folliculin and FNIP1, a protein that shares 49% identity to FNIP2, bind to AMPK, an important energy sensor in cells that negatively regulates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein that is thought to be the master switch for cell growth and proliferation. FNIP1 and FNIP2 are able to form homo- and heteromeric multimers, suggesting these proteins may have a functional relationship. Multiple isoforms of FNIP2 are known to exist. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with FNIP1.

Growing tumors exist in metabolically compromised environments that require activation of multiple pathways to scavenge nutrients to support accelerated rates of growth. The folliculin (FLCN) tumor suppressor complex (FLCN, FNIP1, FNIP2) is implicated in the regulation of energy homeostasis via
