• Background: CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 2 (CRTC2), also known as transducer of regulated cAMP response element-binding protein 2, Torc2, or transducer of CREB protein 2, is a transcriptional coactivator for both CREB and the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1). In its dephosphorylated state, Torc2 becomes an activator in the SIK/TORC signaling pathway, and acts as a central regulator of cAMP dependent gluconeogenic gene expression in the LKB1/AMPK/TORC2 pathway. While Torc2 is normally found in the nucleus, it is translocated to the cytoplasm upon phosphorylation. Torc2 is abundantly expressed in the thymus but can also be found in the spleen, ovary, lung and muscle (where it acts as an inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis). Current research suggests that Torc2 responds to plasma membrane stress by facilitating changes in cellular lipid synthesis, thus altering the composition of the plasma membrane (PMID: 22504275). Other research indicates that Torc2 plays a role in regulating cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis (PMID: 21339740).
• Synonyms: TORC-2; TORC2
• Note: This Torc2 antibody is useful for Western blot, Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry on paraffin embedded sections. In Western blot a band was observed ~ 85 kDa. In ICC/IF cytoplasmic staining was observed in Hela cells. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended.
