W18113C_PURE_ME2_Antibody_1_030524
A-431 cells were stained with 500 nM of MitoSpy™ Green FM (Cat. No. 424805) (panel A) for 30 minutes at 37°C, fixed and permeabilized with 100% ice-cold methanol for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then co-stained with 5.0 µg/mL of Purified anti-ME2 (orange, panel B), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 594 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405422) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801) (blue, merge as panel C). The images were captured on a Revvity Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System with a 60X water objective.

Description

ME2, also known as malic enzyme 2, is a mitochondrial NAD- or NADP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate, involving the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for energy production. During the conversion of malate to pyruvate, ME2 also reduces NAD+ to NADH, participating in cellular respiration and serving as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain. It is a heteromeric protein that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. ME2 has been found to be upregulated in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and liver cancer, promoting tumor growth and survival by providing cancer cells with the necessary energy and building blocks for rapid proliferation. Additionally, ME2 assists in glutaminolysis, providing another energy source for cancer cell proliferation. Moreover, P53 has been found to lower the expression of ME2, which induces ROS levels and decreases ATP production, preventing cellular senescence of tumor cells. Furthermore, there may be a link between ME2 and family-associated genetic generalized epilepsy.
