Human IA2, recombinant (293AA, N-6His)

Recombinant Human Islet Cell Antigen 2/Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor-type N is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met687-Gln979 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Protein function: Plays a role in vesicle-mediated secretory processes (PubMed:24843546). Required for normal accumulation of secretory vesicles in hippocampus, pituitary and pancreatic islets. Required for the accumulation of normal levels of insulin- containing vesicles and preventing their degradation (PubMed:24843546). Plays a role in insulin secretion in response to glucose stimuli (PubMed:24843546). Required for normal accumulation of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in the brain. In females, but not in males, required for normal accumulation and secretion of pituitary hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Required to maintain normal levels of renin expression and renin release. Seems to lack intrinsic enzyme activity. May regulate catalytic active protein-tyrosine phosphatases such as PTPRA through dimerization. [The UniProt Consortium]
