ANTI-SCUBE2 (C15-1446-617)

General description

SCUBE2 (signal peptide, CUB domain, EGF-like 2) was originally recognized in endothelium and multiple nonendothelial primary cell types. In normal breasts, it is expressed in vascular endothelial and mammary ductal epithelial cells. It is a member of the evolutionary conserved small family called SCUBE. This family contains three members. SCUBe2 contains around five motifs namely, a leader peptide in its N-terminal, nine tandem EGF-like repeats, a large spacer region which is N-glycosylated, three repeated stretches of 6-cysteine residues, and a C-terminal with one CUB domain.

Immunogen

Signal peptide, CUB and EGF-like domain-containing protein 2 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-SCUBE2 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

SCUBE2 (signal peptide, CUB domain, EGF-like 2) shows aberrant expression in breast cancer, and plays a role in tumorigenesis. It inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation, and its expression is linked to good prognosis. Thus, it might have potential as a marker for breast cancer. It inhibits breast tumor growth by acting as negative regulator of BMP (bone morphogenetic protein), and inhibiting the β-catenin pathway. It also prevents breast tumor invasion and migration by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

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 APREST70280.

Physical form

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