The SYNE2 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO58352) is a vital tool for researchers studying SYNE2, a gene involved in various cellular processes such as cell migration, nuclear positioning, and mechanosensation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity towards human samples, making it ideal for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the SYNE2 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of SYNE2 in different cell types, offering valuable insights into its functions in cell biology and disease pathology.SYNE2, also referred to as Nesprin-2, is a key player in maintaining cell shape, structure, and function through its interactions with the cytoskeleton and nucleus.
Dysregulation of SYNE2 has been linked to developmental disorders, muscular dystrophies, and certain types of cancer, highlighting its importance in cellular health and disease progression. By studying the role of SYNE2 in various biological processes, researchers can gain a better understanding of its implications in human health and potentially uncover novel therapeutic targets for a range of disorders.

Background:
Multi-isomeric modular protein which forms a linking network between organelles and the actin cytoskeleton to maintain the subcellular spatial organization. As a component of the LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex involved in the connection between the nuclear lamina and the cytoskeleton. The nucleocytoplasmic interactions established by the LINC complex play an important role in the transmission of mechanical forces across the nuclear envelope and in nuclear movement and positioning. Specifically, SYNE2 and SUN2 assemble in arrays of transmembrane actin-associated nuclear (TAN) lines which are bound to F-actin cables and couple the nucleus to retrograde actin flow during actin-dependent nuclear movement. May be involved in nucleus-centrososme attachment. During interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) at G2 phase and nuclear migration in neural progenitors its LINC complex association with SUN1/2 and probable association with cytoplasmic dynein-dynactin motor complexes functions to pull the nucleus toward the centrosome; SYNE1 and SYNE2 may act redundantly. During INM at G1 phase mediates respective LINC complex association with kinesin to push the nucleus away from the centrosome. Involved in nuclear migration in retinal photoreceptor progenitors. Required for centrosome migration to the apical cell surface during early ciliogenesis.

UniProt Protein Function:
SYNE2: a nuclear transmembrane protein involved in the maintenance of nuclear organization and structural integrity. The largest part of the protein is cytoplasmic, while its C-terminal part is associated with the nuclear envelope, most probably the outer nuclear membrane. Remains associated with the nuclear envelope during its breakdown in mitotic cells. Probable anchoring protein which theters the nucleus to the cytoskeleton. Connects nuclei to the cytoskeleton by interacting with the nuclear envelope and with F-actin in the cytoplasm. Nine alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Adaptor/scaffoldChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 14q23.2Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; filopodium membrane; nuclear outer membrane; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; nuclear membrane; sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane; nuclear lumen; focal adhesion; sarcoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrion; cytoplasm; integral to membrane; nuclear envelope; nucleus; Z discMolecular Function: actin filament binding; protein binding; actin bindingBiological Process: centrosome localization; establishment and/or maintenance of cell polarity; nuclear migration along microfilament; nuclear migration; nuclear membrane organization and biogenesis; positive regulation of cell migrationDisease: Emery-dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy 5, Autosomal Dominant

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear outer membrane protein that binds cytoplasmic F-actin. This binding tethers the nucleus to the cytoskeleton and aids in the maintenance of the structural integrity of the nucleus. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
