Gene Information
human ... AIM2(9447)
General description
The gene AIM2 (Absent in melanoma 2) is mapped to human chromosome 1q22. It belongs to the IFI20X /IFI16 family. AIM2 transcripts are detected in spleen, small intestine, testis and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human AIM2
Application
Anti-AIM2 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is induced by IFN-γ. The probable roles of AIM2 are regulation of cell proliferation, inflammation and benign prostate hyperplasia. It also suppresses proliferation and tumorigenicity of human breast cancer cells. AIM2 is a suppressor of melanoma tumorigenicity. AIM2 is up-regulated in humans with hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis. AIM2 expression was positively correlated with caspase-1 and IL (Interleukin)-1β expression. AIM2 is also a component of inflammasome and can sense cytoplasmic DNA, causing activation of ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) pyroptosome and caspase-1.
Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
Other Notes
Synthetic peptide located within the following region: ESKYKEILLLTGLDNITDEELDRFKFFLSDEFNIATGKLHTANRIQVATL

AIM2 plays an important role in innate immunity, but its role in regulating the immune response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) is unknown. We hypothesized that AIM2 expression is positively correlated with HBV-mediated inflammation in patients with HBV-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN)

Close links have been noted between chronic inflammation of the prostate and the development of human prostatic diseases such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to prostatic inflammation remain largely unexplored. Recent

IFN-inducible proteins are known to mediate IFN-directed antitumor effects. The human IFN-inducible protein absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) gene encodes a 39-kDa protein, which contains a 200-amino-acid repeat as a signature of HIN-200 family (hematopoietic IFN-inducible nuclear proteins). Although AIM2
