The gene CTBP2 (C-terminal binding protein 2) encodes a member of the CtBP-family. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 21q21.3. It is found to be expressed ubiquitously, with higher expression in the heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CtBP2.

Biochem/physiol Actions
The gene CTBP2 (C-terminal binding protein 2) encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional co-repressor of several tumor suppressor genes resulting in enhanced cancer cell migration and invasion. Its expression is found to be upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may be a potential prognostic marker for post liver resection HCC. It is involved in several types of tumor initiation, progression and response to therapy. It is found to interact with the C-terminal region of adenovirus type 2/5 E1A protein, a region that negatively regulates tumorigenicity and the extent of oncogenic transformation.

C-terminal binding protein 2 (CtBP2) is a transcriptional co-repressor that promotes cancer cell migration and invasion by inhibiting multiple tumor suppressor genes that contribute to cell mobility and adhesion. In this investigation, we showed thatCtBP2 expression was increased significantly in
CtBP2 could promote prostate cancer cell proliferation through c-Myc signaling.
