The Clip2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO59397) is a high-quality antibody designed for research involving Clip2, a protein essential for microtubule organization and cell division. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits strong reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in various applications, including Western blot and immunofluorescence.Clip2 plays a crucial role in regulating microtubule dynamics, which are essential for cell shape, motility, and intracellular transport. Dysregulation of Clip2 has been implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, making it a valuable target for research aimed at understanding disease mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic interventions.
With its ability to specifically bind to Clip2 protein, this antibody enables researchers to detect and analyze Clip2 expression in different cell types and tissues, making it a versatile tool for studies in cell biology, cancer research, and drug discovery. By investigating the functions of Clip2, scientists can gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease and potentially develop novel treatment strategies targeting this protein.
Western Blot. Positive WB detected in: Rat brain tissue, Mouse brain tissue. All lanes: CLIP2 antibody at 3.2µg/ml. Secondary. Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution. Predicted band size: 116, 112 kDa. Observed band size: 116 kDa.
Immunofluorescence staining of A549 cells with PACO59397 at 1:166, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
Background:
Seems to link microtubules to dendritic lamellar body (DLB), a membranous organelle predominantly present in bulbous dendritic appendages of neurons linked by dendrodendritic gap junctions. May operate in the control of brain-specific organelle translocations (By similarity).

UniProt Protein Function:
CYLN2: Seems to link microtubules to dendritic lamellar body (DLB), a membranous organelle predominantly present in bulbous dendritic appendages of neurons linked by dendrodendritic gap junctions. May operate in the control of brain-specific organelle translocations. CLIP2 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region. Haploinsufficiency of CLIP2 may be the cause of certain cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal abnormalities observed in the disease. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; CytoskeletalChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q11.23Cellular Component: microtubule associated complex

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of cytoplasmic linker proteins, which have been proposed to mediate the interaction between specific membranous organelles and microtubules. This protein was found to associate with both microtubules and an organelle called the dendritic lamellar body. This gene is hemizygously deleted in Williams syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
