Anti-CISD2 / NAF-1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CISD2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein binds an iron/sulfur cluster and may be involved in calcium homeostasis. Defects in this gene are a cause of Wolfram syndrome 2. Protein function: Regulator of autophagy that contributes to antagonize BECN1- mediated cellular autophagy at the endoplasmic reticulum. Participates in the interaction of BCL2 with BECN1 and is required for BCL2-mediated depression of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores during autophagy. Contributes to BIK-initiated autophagy, while it is not involved in BIK-dependent activation of caspases. Involved in life span control, probably via its function as regulator of autophagy.
