RNA-binding protein that binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES), which are stem-loop structures found in the 5'-UTR of ferritin, and delta aminolevulinic acid synthase mRNAs, and in the 3'-UTR of transferrin receptor mRNA. Binding to the IRE element in ferritin results in the repression of its mRNA translation. Binding of the protein to the transferrin receptor mRNA inhibits the degradation of this otherwise rapidly degraded mRNA.

The antibody immunogen share 80% homology with the IREB1 protein, therefore it is likely that the antibody cross-react with IREB1. We received some customers feedback where they observed this cross-reactivity, however no experiments were performed in our lab in order to confirm this.

IREB2 also known as IRP2 and ACO1 also known as Aconitase 1 serve vital functions in iron metabolism. Mechanically IREB2/IRP2 acts as an iron-responsive element-binding protein and is involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of key genes including those encoding transferrin receptor and ferritin. ACO1 functions as a bifunctional protein that switches between being an enzyme and a regulatory protein based on iron levels known to be around 98 kDa in mass. Both of these proteins express in various tissues highlighting their importance across different biological systems.
The IREB2/IRP2 and ACO1 maintain cellular iron homeostasis by responding to iron levels and regulating the iron-responsive element system. They do not form part of a larger protein complex but operate independently to modulate iron metabolism. When iron is ample ACO1 behaves as an enzyme catalyzing the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate in the citric acid cycle. Conversely under iron-depleted conditions ACO1 joins IREB2/IRP2 in an RNA-binding form to control iron uptake and storage.
These proteins play significant roles in the iron regulatory network and the citric acid cycle. IREB2/IRP2 associates with pathways involving iron uptake and release influencing genes related to ferritin and transferrin receptor. ACO1's dual function ties it to both the citric acid cycle and iron regulatory pathways showing its involvement in cellular energy production and iron balance. The interaction with other important proteins such as transferrin and ferritin is important for their regulatory functions within these pathways.
IREB2 and ACO1 connections are apparent in conditions like neurodegenerative diseases and anemia. Abnormal regulation or mutations in these proteins show associations with disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and sideroblastic anemia. Interactions between IREB2/IRP2 and proteins like PARK7/DJ-1 and oxidative stress proteins underline their significance in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and issues of iron mismanagement.
