The MX2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC02915) is a valuable tool for researchers studying MX2, a critical protein involved in antiviral defense mechanisms. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting. By specifically binding to the MX2 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential component of studies in virology and infectious diseases.
MX2 is a key player in the host's defense against viral infections, functioning by inhibiting the replication of a broad range of viruses. Understanding the role of MX2 is crucial in developing strategies for combating viral diseases and developing antiviral therapies. Research into MX2 has implications for the fields of virology, immunology, and drug development, as targeting this protein could lead to novel approaches for treating viral infections and improving global public health.

UniProt Protein Function:
MX2: has a nuclear and a cytoplasmic form and is a member of both the dynamin family and the family of large GTPases. The nuclear form is localized in a granular pattern in the heterochromatin region beneath the nuclear envelope. A nuclear localization signal (NLS) is present at the amino terminal end of the nuclear form but is lacking in the cytoplasmic form due to use of an alternate translation start codon. This protein is upregulated by interferon-alpha but does not contain the antiviral activity of a similar myxovirus resistance protein 1.
