REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

NSUN2 also known as SAKI is a methyltransferase enzyme that adds a methyl group to cytosine within nucleic acids most often in RNA. It has a molecular mass of about 83 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in different tissues but shows high expression levels in the brain and reproductive organs. NSUN2 modifies RNA molecules impacting their function and stability which is essential in various cellular processes.
Biological function summary
NSUN2 participates in RNA metabolism and processing. By introducing m5C (5-methylcytosine) modifications to RNA NSUN2 influences RNA stability transport and translation. This protein is a part of larger complexes that regulate diverse cellular functions and maintains transcriptome integrity. Alterations in NSUN2 activity can affect cellular proliferation and differentiation highlighting its role in maintaining normal cell function.
Pathways
NSUN2 plays an integral role in the epitranscriptomic regulation pathway in particular RNA modification and gene expression regulation pathways. It acts alongside proteins like TRMT2A and TRMT61A which are involved in similar processes of RNA methylation and modification. These pathways help maintain a balance in gene expression profiles necessary for proper cellular function and response to external signals.
Mutations or dysfunctions in NSUN2 are associated with mental retardation and cancer. In neurodevelopmental disorders altered NSUN2 activity disrupts normal brain development potentially linking it with proteins like FTSJ1 another RNA methyltransferase. Similarly in cancer NSUN2 dysregulation leads to aberrant cell proliferation and tumorigenesis often in connection with oncogenic pathways and other modified proteins.
