Gene Information
human ... GOT2(2806)
General description
The gene glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase-2 (GOT2) is located in human chromosome 16 (16q21). The protein is an aspartate aminotransfaerase (AST) enzyme. Two distinct forms of AST have been identified: a cytoplasmic (GOT1) and a mitochondrial isoform (GOT2). GOT2 has been identified within mitochondria and on the plasma membrane in HepG2 cells.
Immunogen
Aspartate aminotransferase, mitochondrial precursor 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
The protein Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase-2 (GOT2) participates in amino acid metabolism, converting aspartate and α-ketoglutarate (aKG) to oxaloacetate (OAC) and glutamate. GOT2 also provides a major route for reducing equivalents into mitochondria through its participation in the malate:asparte shuttle. GOT2K159 acetylation increases in human pancreatic tumors. It is shown to be involved in growth of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Long term ethanol exposure up-regulates GOT2 levels in the plasma membrane of HepG2 cells. The protein level increases in type2 diabetes patients post exercise training. Using mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance approach decreased level of the enzyme was observed in brains from schizophrenia-induced rats and post-mortem schizophrenia patients. Proteomic analysis of Vastus lateralis muscle in mature and older women showed down-regulation of the protein in older women, indicating its involvement in muscle aging.
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:
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.
