TRF2 (Phospho Thr188) rabbit pAb

function:Binds the telomeric double-stranded TTAGGG repeat. Protects against end-to-end fusion of chromosomes and plays a role in successful progression through the cell division cycle. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) that is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection. Shelterin associates with arrays of double-stranded TTAGGG repeats added by telomerase and protects chromosome ends; without its protective activity, telomeres are no longer hidden from the DNA damage surveillance and chromosome ends are inappropriately processed by DNA repair pathways.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Contains 1 HTH myb-type DNA-binding domain.,subcellular location:Colocalizes with telomeric DNA in interphase cells and is located at chromosome ends during metaphase.,subunit:Homodimer. Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) composed of TERF1, TERF2, TINF2, TERF2IP ACD and POT1. Binds to RAP1. Interacts with NBN.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in spleen, thymus, prostate, uterus, testis, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes.,
