Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer and CSF2 form a cytokine

and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q

This gene is located on chromosome 1 in a tandem cluster of closely related family members including argonaute 4 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C| 1

It is located in the nucleoplasm but is not associated with either the nuclear envelope or the nucleolus

Can stimulate binding of U1 snRNP to a 5'-splice site-containing pre-mRNA

Hydrolyzes the ester bond of the fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) with preference for phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylglycerols over phosphatidylcholines (PubMed: 3356705)

Human Beta, Beta-Carotene 9', 10'-Oxygenase, BCO2 ELISA Kit, 96T Vortex Mixer and CSF2 form a cytokineAsymmetrically cleaves beta carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta apo 10' carotenal and beta ionone. Besides beta carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
