PDZ and LIM domain protein 2 is a cytoskeletal protein encoded by the PDLIM2 gene in humans and is a member of actin-associated LIM protein subfamily of cytosolic proteins.
Synonyms: Anti-PDZ and LIM domain protein 2; Anti-PDZ-LIM protein; Anti-PDZ-LIM protein mystique
Storage: -20C
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: PDZ and LIM domain protein 2 is a novel actin-regulating protein of podocyte foot processes that may have a role in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases. It is a cytoskeletal and nuclear PDZ-LIM domain protein that regulates the stability of Nuclear Factor kappa-B (NF?B) and other transcription factors and is essential for polarized cell migration. It integrates cytoskeleton signaling with gene expression in epithelial differentiation by controlling the stability of key transcription factors and COP9 signalosome (CSN) activity. It acts as an essential terminator of NF-?B activation, is repressed in both estrogen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cells.
