MAT2A

SYNONYMS
MATA2, MATII, SAMS2, MAT-2A, S-adenosylmethionine synthetase isoform type-2, AdoMet synthetase 2, Methionine adenosyltransferase 2, Methionine adenosyltransferase II, MAT2A, AMS2.

INTRODUCTION
MAT2A is an important enzyme in cellular metabolism and catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) from L-methionine and ATP. MAT2A is expressed in extrahepatic tissues. In liver, MAT2A expression associates with growth, dedifferentiation, and cancer. NF-kappa B and AP-1 are necessary for basal MAT2A expression in HepG2 cells and mediate the increase in MAT2A expression in response to TNF-alpha. Up-regulation of MAT2A provides growth improvement and s-adenosylmethionine and methylthioadenosine thus can block mitogenic signaling in colon cancer cells. Lower expression of both MAT2A and MAT2beta and interfere with leptin signaling in liver cancer cells.

DESCRIPTION
MAT2A Human Recombinant fused with His tag (20 a.a.) at C-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 415 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 45.8 kDa.
The MAT2A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
