The DUS2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC023287) is a valuable tool for researchers studying DUS2, a protein involved in RNA processing and mRNA stability. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high specificity for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blotting applications. By binding to the DUS2 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of DUS2 in a variety of cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies in molecular biology and gene regulation.DUS2, also known as dihydrouridine synthase 2, plays a crucial role in maintaining RNA integrity and stability, making it a key player in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation.
Dysregulation of DUS2 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the importance of understanding its function. By investigating the role of DUS2 in different cellular processes, researchers can gain insights into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein that catalyzes the conversion of uridine residues to dihydrouridine in the D-loop of tRNA. The resulting modified bases confer enhanced regional flexibility to tRNA. The encoded protein may increase the rate of translation by inhibiting an interferon-induced protein kinase. This gene has been implicated in pulmonary carcinogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
