Promotional Text:
Molecular Weight:
~85 kDa observed
Immunogen:
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Axin-2.
Background Information:
Axis inhibition protein 2 (Axin-2) has been linked to selective tooth angenesis. It has been found in human thymus, prostate, testis, small intestine, ovarian tissue and in the colon, at a lower expression rate. Axin-2 is involved during skull morphogenesis and missing Axin-2 can cause abnormal skull morphology. Variation in Axin-2 has been associated with accelerated chondrocyte proliferation.

Entrez Gene Summary:
The Axin-related protein, Axin2, presumably plays an important role in the regulation of the stability of beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, like its rodent homologs, mouse conductin/rat axil. In mouse, conductin organizes a multiprotein complex of APC (adenomatous polyposis of the colon), beta-catenin, glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta, and conductin, which leads to the degradation of beta-catenin. Apparently, the deregulation of beta-catenin is an important event in the genesis of a number of malignancies. The AXIN2 gene has been mapped to 17q23-q24, a region that shows frequent loss of heterozygosity in breast cancer, neuroblastoma, and other tumors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer with defective mismatch repair. [provided by RefSeq].
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: Inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. Down-regulates beta-catenin. Probably facilitate the phosphorylation of beta-catenin and APC by GSK3B (By similarity).
SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK3B) and beta-catenin. The interaction between axin and beta-catenin occurs via the armadillo repeats contained in beta-catenin (By similarity). Interacts with SMAD7 and RNF111. Interacts with ANKRD6.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain and lymphoblast.
PTM: Probably phosphorylated by GSK3B and dephosphorylated by PP2A (By similarity).
INVOLVEMENT IN DISEASE: Defects in AXIN2 are involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:114500]. They appear to be specifically associated with defective mismatch repair.
Defects in AXIN2 are the cause of oligodontia-colorectal cancer syndrome (ODCRCS) [MIM:608615]. Affected individuals manifest severe tooth agenesis and colorectal cancer or precancerous lesions of variable types.
SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 1 DIX domain.
Contains 1 RGS domain.
