A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of OAS2 antibody, Alternative Names: OAS2 control peptide, OAS2 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-OAS2 Blocking Peptide, 2'-5'-Oligoadenylate Synthetase 2 69/71Kda Blocking Peptide, MGC78578 Blocking Peptide, OAS2, OAS-2, OAS 2, OAS-2 Blocking Peptide, OAS 2 Blocking Peptide
OAS2 is a member of the 2-5A synthetase family, essential proteins involved in the innate immune response to viral infection. It is induced by interferons and uses adenosine triphosphate in 2'-specific nucleotidyl transfer reactions to synthesize 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5As). These molecules activate latent RNase L, which results in viral RNA degradation and the inhibition of viral replication.
