Anti-CRTC2 Antibody, clone 5B10

CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2) is a transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which is a cAMP (CRE) site responder. CRTC2 is also known as TORC-2 (transducer of regulated cAMP response element-binding protein 2) and CRTC2 regulates gluconeogenesis as well as steroidogenic processes, and is also a coactivator for mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. Localization is cytoplasmic but relocates to the nucleus in response to cAMP and glucagon levels. CRTC2 is highly expressed in thymus, spleen, muscle, and lung; it is also expressed in various cancers as well as insulinomas. Low levels of expression are found in the brain, colon, heart and kidney, with the lowest levels being in the liver and pancreas. Activity is regulated via phosphorylation. CRTC2 is inactive when phosphorylated (meaning that is does not bind CREB and assist in gene transcription) and active when dephosphorylated. EMD-Millipore’s Anti-CRTC2 mouse monoclonal, clone 5B10, has been tested in western blots against human HEK292 and HeLa cell extracts, in immunohistochemistry in paraffin embedded human ovary and lung cancer tissue, and in immunofluorescent immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry on HeLa cells in culture.
