Ovarian tumor suppressor candidate 2, also known as OVCA2, belongs to the uPF0483 family. It is ubiquitously expressed and its expression is regulated by retinoids. OVCA2 interacts with apoptosis- related protein Bag-1, indicating that this protein may participate in cell proliferation. Due to its structural and catalytic characteristics, OVCA2 is thought to act as a serine-hydrolase and, because of its reduced expression in ovarian and other tumor cell lines, it may play a role in tumor suppression. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-227 of human OVCA2, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
