The RCAN2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC019177) is a valuable tool for researchers studying RCAN2, a protein involved in various cellular processes, including calcium signaling and gene expression regulation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and reactivity with human samples, making it suitable for Western blot applications. By binding to RCAN2, this antibody allows for accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential component for research in molecular biology and biomedical sciences.
RCAN2, also known as DSCR1L2, plays a crucial role in cellular functions such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its involvement in calcium signaling pathways and gene transcription makes it a promising target for studying diseases like Alzheimer's, Down syndrome, and cancer. By investigating the role of RCAN2 in these conditions, researchers can gain insights into potential therapeutic targets and pathways for disease intervention and management.

Background:
This gene encodes a member of the regulator of calcineurin (RCAN) protein family. These proteins play a role in many physiological processes by binding to the catalytic domain of calcineurin A, inhibiting calcineurin-mediated nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFATC1. Expression of this gene in skin fibroblasts is upregulated by thyroid hormone, and the encoded protein may also play a role in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
Synonyms:
regulator of calcineurin 2
