MDM2 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene is a target gene of the transcription factor tumor protein p53. The encoded protein is a nuclear phosphoprotein that binds and inhibits transactivation by tumor protein p53, as part of an autoregulatory negative feedback loop. Overexpression of this gene can result in excessive inactivation of tumor protein p53, diminishing its tumor suppressor function. This protein has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which targets tumor protein p53 for proteasomal degradation. This protein also affects the cell cycle, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis through interactions with other proteins, including retinoblastoma 1 and ribosomal protein L5. More than 40 different alternatively spliced transcript variants have been isolated from both tumor and normal tissues. [provided by RefSeq]

MDM2: a ubiquitin ligase for p53, plays a central role in regulation of the stability of p53 via Akt-mediated MDM2 phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of MDM2 increases its interaction with p300, providing a platform to allow the assembly of the protein complex necessary for MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53. Phosphorylation of MDM2 also blocks its binding to p19ARF, increasing the degradation of p53. Facilitates the nuclear export of p53 and targets it for proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Eight alternatively spliced isoforms have been reported.
