DCTN2 (Dynactin Subunit 2, Dynactin Complex 50kD Subunit, DCTN-50, 50kD Dynein-associated Polypeptide, p50 Dynamitin, DCTN50)

DCTN2 is a 50kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10-11 subunits ranging in size from 22-150kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit is present in 4-5 copies per dynactin molecule. It contains three short alpha-helical coiled-coil domains that may mediate association with self or other dynactin subunits. It may interact directly with the largest subunit (p150) of dynactin and may affix p150 in place.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA and Western Blot.
