MICAL2, Recombinant, Human, aa1-495, His-Tag (Protein-methionine Sulfoxide Oxidase MICAL2)

Nuclear monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin and regulates the SRF signaling. Acts by modifying nuclear actin subunits through the addition of oxygen to form methionine-sulfoxide, leading to promote actin filament severing and prevent repolymerization. Acts as a key regulator of the SRF signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum: mediates oxidation and subsequent depolymerization of nuclear actin, leading to increase MKL1/MRTF-A presence in the nucleus and promote SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A-dependent gene transcription. Does not activate SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A through RhoA. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-495 from human MICAL2, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
