Amino acids VIRGPAGNNDCRIYVGNLPPDIRTKDIE of human SF2 were used as the immunogen for the SF2 antibody.
SF2, also known as Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SFRS1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the arginine/serine-rich splicing factor protein family. There is a pseudogene of this gene on chromosome 13. The encoded protein can either activate or repress splicing, depending on its phosphorylation state and its interaction partners. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene. ASF/SF2 is necessary for all splicing reactions to occur, and influences splice site selection in a concentration-dependent manner, resulting in alternative splicing.
