General description

The gene STAU2 (staufen 2) is mapped to human chromosome 8q21. It belongs to double-stranded RNA binding protein family. STAU2 is strongly expressed in heart and brain. It is mainly present in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites.

Immunogen

Double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen homolog 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-STAU2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

STAU2 (staufen 2) is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein and is suggested to form ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs). It is involved in transport, stability and decay of mRNAs. STAU2 controls RNA export activity of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-1 rev protein and thereby promotes virus proliferation.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Detailed genomic characterization of cancer specimens is required to identify all genes whose dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis and/or tumor progression. These include amplification target genes, whose oncogenic functions derive from their overexpression in response to increased gene copy number, and

Staufen (STAU)1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD) is a posttranscriptional regulatory mechanism in mammals that degrades mRNAs harboring a STAU1-binding site (SBS) in their 3'-untranslated regions (3' UTRs). We show that SMD involves not only STAU1 but also its paralog STAU2. STAU2

Staufen1 (STAU1)-mediated mRNA decay (SMD) degrades mammalian-cell mRNAs that bind the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein STAU1 in their 3' untranslated region. We report a new motif, which typifies STAU homologs from all vertebrate classes, that is responsible for human STAU1

Staufen1 (STAU1) is an RNA-binding protein involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs. We report that a large fraction of STAU1 localizes to the mitotic spindle in colorectal cancer HCT116 cells and in non-transformed hTERT-RPE1 cells. Spindle-associated STAU1 partly co-localizes
