Gene Information
human ... AIM2(9447)
General description
The gene AIM2 (Absent in melanoma 2) is mapped to human chromosome 1q22. It belongs to the IFI20X /IFI16 family. AIM2 transcripts are detected in spleen, small intestine, testis and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human AIM2
Application
Anti-AIM2 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is induced by IFN-γ. The probable roles of AIM2 are regulation of cell proliferation, inflammation and benign prostate hyperplasia. It also suppresses proliferation and tumorigenicity of human breast cancer cells. AIM2 is a suppressor of melanoma tumorigenicity. AIM2 is up-regulated in humans with hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis. AIM2 expression was positively correlated with caspase-1 and IL (Interleukin)-1β expression. AIM2 is also a component of inflammasome and can sense cytoplasmic DNA, causing activation of ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) pyroptosome and caspase-1.
Sequence

Close links have been noted between chronic inflammation of the prostate and the development of human prostatic diseases such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to prostatic inflammation remain largely unexplored. Recent

Chromosome 6-mediated suppression of tumorigenicity in malignant melanoma cell lines provides a model system to identify genes associated with the reversion of the tumorigenic phenotype. Using subtractive cDNA selection, we recently identified a series of novel genes which are differentially

AIM2 plays an important role in innate immunity, but its role in regulating the immune response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) is unknown. We hypothesized that AIM2 expression is positively correlated with HBV-mediated inflammation in patients with HBV-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN)

IFN-inducible proteins are known to mediate IFN-directed antitumor effects. The human IFN-inducible protein absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) gene encodes a 39-kDa protein, which contains a 200-amino-acid repeat as a signature of HIN-200 family (hematopoietic IFN-inducible nuclear proteins). Although AIM2

Host- and pathogen-associated cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA triggers the activation of a NALP3 (also known as cryopyrin and NLRP3)-independent inflammasome, which activates caspase-1 leading to maturation of pro-interleukin-1beta and inflammation. The nature of the cytoplasmic-DNA-sensing inflammasome is currently unknown. Here we
