Anti-ATXN2 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1449-572)

General description

Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) is a 140kDa protein which belongs to the like-Sm (LSm) protein family. The gene encoding it is localized on chromosome 12q24.

Immunogen

Ataxin-2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ATXN2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) takes part in regulating cell growth, proliferation and alters trans-active response DNA-binding protein 43kDa (TDP-43). It may be involved in binding to cis-regulatory elements of mRNAs to stabilize them with the help of poly-(A)-binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1). This function of ATXN2 helps to keep a check on the metabolism of RNAs. Mutation in the gene encoding this protein has been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST73802.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
