The MAGI2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO55198) is a vital tool for researchers studying the MAGI2 protein, known for its involvement in cell signaling pathways and its potential role in cancer development. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the MAGI2 protein, researchers can accurately detect and analyze its expression in various cell types, providing valuable insights for cancer and cell signaling research.
MAGI2, a multi-domain scaffolding protein, is essential for maintaining cell polarity and regulating cell proliferation and migration. Dysregulation of MAGI2 has been linked to the progression of various cancers, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. Investigating the functions of MAGI2 with the help of this antibody can lead to a better understanding of its role in cancer biology and the development of targeted cancer therapies.

Background:
Seems to act as scaffold molecule at synaptic junctions by assembling neurotransmitter receptors and cell adhesion proteins. May play a role in regulating activin-mediated signaling in neuronal cells. Enhances the ability of PTEN to suppress AKT1 activation. Plays a role in nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced recruitment of RAPGEF2 to late endosomes and neurite outgrowth.
Synonyms:
Membrane-associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain-containing protein 2 (Atrophin-1-interacting protein 1) (AIP-1) (Atrophin-1-interacting protein A) (Membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted 2) (MAGI-2), MAGI2, ACVRINP1 AIP1 KIAA0705

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene interacts with atrophin-1. Atrophin-1 contains a polyglutamine repeat, expansion of which is responsible for dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophy. This encoded protein is characterized by two WW domains, a guanylate kinase-like domain, and multiple PDZ domains. It has structural similarity to the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologue (MAGUK) family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
