Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): May act in regulation of cell growth and transformation by interacting with nonreceptor tyrosine kinases ABL1 and/or ABL2. Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. Regulates ABL1/c-Abl-mediated phosphorylation of MENA. .
Scientific background (datasheet): ABI2 (ABL Interactor 2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABI2 gene. By analysis of a YAC and a BAC, Machado et al. (2000) mapped the ABI2 gene to 2q31-q33. ABI2 possesses a basic N terminus with homology to a homeodomain protein; a central serine-rich region; 3 PEST sequences, which are implicated in susceptibility to protein degradation; several proline-rich stretches; and an acidic C terminus with multiple phosphorylation sites and an SH3 domain. Dai and Pendergast (1995) suggested that the ABI proteins may function to coordinate the cytoplasmic and nuclear functions of the ABL1 tyrosine kinase.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm .
Tissue details (datasheet): Highly expressed in brain tissues with the exception of the spinal cord. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the ABI family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cancer,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Tumor Suppressors.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
