OAS2 encodes a member of the 2-5A synthetase family, essential proteins involved in the innate immune response to viral infection. The 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 2 is induced by interferons and uses adenosine triphosphate in 2'-specific nucleotidyl transfer reactions to synthesize 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5As). These molecules activate latent RNase L, which results in viral RNA degradation and the inhibition of viral replication. The three known members of this gene family are located in a cluster on chromosome 12. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. 蛋白别名为：OAS2; 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase 2; (2-5')oligo(A) synthase 2; 2-5A synthase 2; p69 OAS / p71 OAS; p69OAS / p71OAS;基因ID为：4939；蛋白质ID:P29728
应用类型
WB，IHC-p，ELISA补充：最优的抗体稀释比例需要基于客户实验进行优化.建议的起始稀释比例如下: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
