Anti-BICD2 Antibody

产品说明

一般描述

BICD2 is the second human homolog discovered to the Drosophila Bicaudal-D protein that forms part of the cytoskeleton and mediates the correct sorting of mRNAs for oocyte- and axis-determining factors during oogenesis. Similar to the highly homologous protein BICD1, BICD2 can bind to dynein-dynactin complex, primarily through the dynamitin subunit of dynactin. The C-terminus of BICD2 targets the protein to the Golgi complex while the N-terminal domain of BICD2 co-immunoprecipitates with cytoplasmic dynein, suggesting BICD2 plays a role in the dynein-dynactin interaction on the surface of membranous organelles. Mice engineered to overexpress the BICD2 amino terminal domain in neurons developed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like features such as Golgi fragmentation, neurofilament swelling in proximal axons, etc., suggesting that impaired dynein/dynactin function may explain some of the pathological features observed in ALS patients.

质量

Evaluated by Western Blot in human lung tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected BICD2 in 10 µg/mL of human lung tissue lysate.

目标描述

~100 kDa observed. Uniprot describes two isoforms at ~94 kDa and ~97 kDa The calculated molecular weight is 94 kDa, however BICD2 has been shown as a ~100 kDa band in western blots. (Daniele, T., et al. (2011). Traffic. 12(7):902-911.) An uncharacterized band may appear at ~35 kDa in some lysates.

外形

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing PBS with 0.02% sodium azide.
Antigen Affinity Purified

储存及稳定性

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.
