• Target description: G0/G1 switch protein 2 (UniProt: P27469; also known as G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 2, Putative lymphocyte G0/G1 switch gene, G0S2) is encoded by the G0S2 gene (Gene ID: 50486) in human. G0S2 is a highly conserved, mitochondrial protein that is widely expressed in vertebrate species. High expression of G0S2 is reported in peripheral blood cells, skeletal muscle, heart, liver and kidney. It is multifaceted protein that is involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, metabolism, and carcinogenesis. The G0S2 gene is reported to be hypermethylated in several human cancer cell lines. Its promoter region contains potential binding sites for AP1, AP2, AP3, and Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). The G0S2 protein is shown to contain two -helices that are separated by a hydrophobic sequence with the potential to generate turns and assume a β-sheet conformation. It also has several putative phosphorylation sites for protein kinase C (PKC) and casein kinase II. G0S2 can interact with Bcl2 and block the formation of Bcl2-Bax heterodimer to block apoptosis. In fat tissue it acts as a molecular brake on triglyceride catabolism. G0S2 is reported to be a major selective inhibitor of adipose triglyceride lipase (AGTL) and its hydrolase activity. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
