These histone marks are associated with transcriptional repression (1). In addition, ASXL2 interacts with BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1), the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive deubiquitinase complex (PR-DUB), which functions to de-ubiquitinate histone H2A at lysine 119 and activate transcription (2). ASXL2 functions as a transcriptional regulator of adipogenesis, acting to induce peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) adipocyte differentiation, whereas its paralog ASXL1 functions to inhibit PPARG activity (3). ASXL2 is critical for animal viability and growth, as knockout mice experience partial embryonic lethality, premature death, axial skeletal abnormalities, and reduced bone mineral density (4,5). ASXL2 also plays a role in cancer, where truncation mutations are found in pancreatic, breast, and castration-resistant prostate cancers, albeit infrequently (6-9). is also frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia patients with t(8;21)\/ chromosomal translocations, and these mutations correlate with a 36% incidence of relapse (10).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nadditional sex combs like 2 (Drosophila); additional sex combs like 2, transcriptional regulator; Additional sex combs-like protein 2; ASXH2; ASXL transcriptional regulator 2; ASXL2; DKFZp686C1968; FLJ10898; KIAA1685; polycomb group protein ASXH2; Putative Polycomb group protein ASXL2; SHAPNS\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 210\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799872164009,"sku":"71257T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-71257t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
