RNase Z2 Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:Endonucleolytic cleavage of RNA, removing extra 3' nucleotides from tRNA precursor, generating 3' termini of tRNAs. A 3'-hydroxy group is left at the tRNA terminus and a 5'-phosphoryl group is left at the trailer molecule.,cofactor:Zinc.,disease:Defects in ELAC2 are involved in prostate cancer (CaP) [MIM:176807].,function:Zinc phosphodiesterase, which displays some tRNA 3'-processing endonuclease activity. Probably involved in tRNA maturation, by removing a 3'-trailer from precursor tRNA.,similarity:Belongs to the RNase Z family.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Highly expressed in heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in brain, lung, spleen, thymus, prostate, small intestine, colon and leukocytes.,
