Other Information

**Key Characteristics** RNASE2 is a member of the ribonuclease A family, which consists of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of RNA into smaller fragments. Unlike other ribonucleases, RNASE2 is non-secretory, meaning it is not released into the extracellular environment. Instead, it is retained within cells and is thought to play a localized role in the regulation of immune responses. RNASE2 has a high degree of specificity for RNA, with a preference for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). **Pathways and Functions** RNASE2 is involved in several key pathways and functions, including: 1. **Degradation of RNA**: RNASE2 degrades RNA into smaller fragments, which can be used by the cell to regulate gene expression and immune responses. 2. **Induction of bacterial agglutination**: RNASE2 induces the agglutination of bacteria, which can help to remove them from the extracellular environment and prevent their entry into the host cell. 3. **Regulation of immune responses**: RNASE2 regulates immune responses by modulating the activity of immune cells, such as neutrophils and monocytes. 4. **Lipopolysaccharide binding**: RNASE2 binds to lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. 5. **Neutrophil degranulation**: RNASE2 is involved in the regulation of neutrophil degranulation, which is the process by which neutrophils release their granules to kill pathogens. **Clinical Significance** RNASE2 has several potential clinical applications, including: 1. **Innate immune response disorders**: RNASE2 dysfunction has been implicated in various innate immune response disorders, including chronic granulomatous disease and autoimmune disorders. 2. **Bacterial infections**: RNASE2 may play a role in the defense against bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. 3. **Cancer therapy**: RNASE2 may be used as a target for cancer therapy, as it is involved in the regulation of immune responses and the degradation of RNA. 4. **Inflammation**: RNASE2 may be involved in the regulation of inflammation, which is a key component of the innate immune response. In conclusion, RNASE2 is a non-secretory ribonuclease that plays a crucial role in the innate immune response. Its involvement in various pathways and functions, including the degradation of RNA and the regulation of immune responses, makes it an important target for the study of innate immune response disorders and the development of new therapeutic strategies.
