This protein is an enzyme included in the 2, 5 oligoadenylate synthase family. This enzyme is induced by interferons and catalyzes the 2, 5 oligomers of adenosine in order to bind and activate RNase L. This enzyme family plays a significant role in the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and viral infection resistance. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
