Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography. Background U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2 (U2AF2) is the large (65 kDa) subunit of the U2 auxiliary factor (U2AF) that plays an essential role in the splicing of pre-mRNA to generate functional mRNA transcripts. U2AF2 forms a heterodimer with the small (35 kDa) U2AF1 subunit to create the U2AF that recognizes the 3' splice site and facilitates spliceosome assembly (1-3). Research studies indicate that U2AF1 binds to the 3' splice site consensus AG dinucleotide at the intron-exon boundary while U2AF2 recognizes and binds the polypyrimidine tract upstream of the 3' splice site. These two steps ensure accurate spliceosome assembly at splice sites (4-6). Mutations in , which alter its splicing capabilities, have been described in various cancers (7,8).
