Dynamitin (DCTN2) (NM_006400) Human Recombinant Protein

CAT#: TP314771

Recombinant protein of human dynactin 2 (p50) (DCTN2)

Product Images

Tau-dynactin co-immunoprecipitation indicates that hyperphosphorylation of tau increases its affinity toward dynactin-2. Dynactin-2 (OriGene TP314771), pre-incubated with Dynabeads-G and an anti-dynactin-2 antibody, were incubated with native or hyperphosphorylated tau (via reaction with GSK-3) and the pulldown samples were analyzed with Western blot through a Tau antibody.

• Summary: This gene encodes a 50-kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10-11 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit is present in 4-5 copies per dynactin molecule. It contains three short alpha-helical coiled-coil domains that may mediate association with self or other dynactin subunits. It may interact directly with the largest subunit (p150) of dynactin and may affix p150 in place. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
