IMP (Inosine 5'-Monophosphate) Dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) Peptide

This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-IMPDH2 antibody ( ARP54366_P050). It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications. Please inquire for more details.

Background Information: IMPDH2 is the rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. It is thus involved in maintaining cellular guanine deoxy- and ribonucleotide pools needed for DNA and RNA synthesis. It catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of inosine-5'-monophosphate into xanthine-5'-monophosphate, which is then converted into guanosine-5'-monophosphate. IMPDH2 is up-regulated in some neoplasms, suggesting it may play a role in malignant transformation.This gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis.
