DescriptionAnti-Pumilio-2 (PUM2) Antibody
Alternate Names
  • pumilio homolog 2 (Drosophila)
  • pumilio homolog 2
  • pumilio (Drosphila) homolog 2
Background InformationPUM2 is a member of the Puf family of RNA-binding proteins, which are believed to play a role in the regulation of posttranscriptional gene expression. Members of the Puf family of RNA binding proteins function as repressors of translation when bound to the 3-untranslated region of RNA transcripts.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates translation and mRNA stability by binding the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. Its interactions and tissue specificity suggest that it may be required to support proliferation and self-renewal of stem cells by regulating the translation of key transcripts.

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Homodimer; homodimerizes in vitro. Interacts with DAZ, DAZL and NANOS1 via its pumilio repeats. Binds to a RNA consensus sequence, that is related to the Nanos Response Element (NRE), a 16 bp sequence found in the 3'-UTR of the Drosophila hb mRNA. Also binds to the NRE.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm Probable.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in testis and ovary. Predominantly expressed in stem cells and germ cells. Expressed at lower level in brain, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, placenta, intestine and stomach Expressed in cerebellum, corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, medulla oblongata and putamen. Expressed in all fetal tissues tested.

INDUCTION: Down-regulated in keratinocytes upon UV B radiation.

DOMAIN: The pumilio repeats mediate the association with RNA by packing together to form a right-handed superhelix that approximates a half donut. The number as well as the specific sequence of the repeats determine the specificity for target mRNAs By similarity.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 1 PUM-HD domain.

Contains 8 pumilio repeats.
Molecular Weight~120 kDa observed.
Non specific band may be observed at 48 kDa.
