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.
Synonyms: Anti-C-terminal-binding protein 2; Anti-CtBP2

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

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.
