Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 2 (gene ADAM2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 82.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
ADAM2 (fertilin beta) is a sperm surface protein of the ADAM family that lacks protease activity. It is needed for normal sperm migration and binding to the egg's zona pellucida, and it is studied in male fertility.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat testis tissue, mouse testis tissue, MCF-7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human ADAM2. It differs from the mouse and rat sequences at eleven residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 2 in the membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed specifically in spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous cells. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
