Application

Anti-CHAC2, (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase 2 (ChaC2) helps in degrading glutathione in the cytosol of mammals. In pathways that are independent of ChaC1, ChaC2 would disrupt the expression of nuclear erythroid-2-like factor (Nrf2) and glutamate cysteine ligase. Upregulation of ChaC2 gene can prevent the proliferation of cells. It may be considered as a candidate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in gastrointestinal cancer.
