Immunogen:
The immunogen is a synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human IREB2
Alternative Names:
ACO3, IRP2, IRP2AD, NDCAMA, IRE-BP2, IRE-BP 2
IREB2 binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES), which are stem-loop structures found in the 5-UTR of ferritin, and delta aminolevulinic acid synthase mRNAs, and in the 3-UTR of transferrin receptor mRNA. IREB2 binds to the IRE element in ferritin which results in the repression of its mRNA translation. Binding of the protein to the transferrin receptor mRNA inhibits the degradation of this otherwise rapidly degraded mRNA.
