Application

Anti-CTPS2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting. All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images 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

Cytidine triphosphate synthetase (CTPS) acts as a rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of cytidine triphosphate from both de novo and uridine salvage pathways. Cytidine nucleotides play a vital role in various metabolic processes and provide the precursor for synthesis of nucleic acids and phospholipids. Decrease in cytosine triphosphate synthase 2 expression elevates colorectal cancer cell resistance to 5-fluorouracil.

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: 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.

General description

Cytidine triphosphate synthetase 2 (CTPS2), mapped to human chromosome Xp22, codes for CTPS 2 enzyme, which is expressed ubiquitously. Cytidine triphosphate synthetase 2 is an isoenzyme of hCTPS. It shares 50% identity with yeast isoforms of CTPS. CTPS comprises 525–630 amino acid residues along with synthetase domain and glutaminase domain.
