General description
The outer dense fiber of sperm tails 2 (ODF2) gene is located on the human chromosome at 9q34.11. This gene encodes for two proteins, namely testis-specific structural protein ODF2 and ubiquitous centriolar protein cenexin.
Immunogen
outer dense fiber of sperm tails 2 isoform 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-ODF2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.
Anti-ODF2 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
ODFs (outer dense fibres) consist of nine fibres surrounding the axoneme. They form the principal cytoskeletal structure of sperm tail. ODF2 is located at the sperm tail midpiece and principal piece. It has a thin cortex surrounded by central medulla. It is also involved in maintaining passive elastic structure and elastic recoil of the sperm tail and in protection of tail against shearing forces encountered during epididymal transport as well as during ejaculation.
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 APREST85163.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
