Overview
Anti-Angiotensin II Receptor Type-2 (extracellular)-ATTO Fluor-488 Antibody is an antibody targeting AT2 Receptor, AT2R, AGTR2, MRX88 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC.). This antibody is commonly used in IC, IF, IHC, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: AT2 Receptor, AT2R, AGTR2, MRX88 (also reported as AT2 Receptor, AT2R, AGTR2, MRX88).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminal domain.
- Homology note: Mouse - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Rat, Mouse.
- Specificity statement (as provided): Will not recognize human AT2 Receptor..
- KO-validated: yes (validation context may be assay-dependent).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #AAR-012), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Angiotensin II receptor type 2 or AT2 is one of the receptors that bind the octapeptide hormone Angiotensin II (Ang II). Ang II is the peptide hormone that generates most of the known effects of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Ang II is generated from the angiotensinogen protein by the actions of renin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and other peptidases.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
- Live cell imaging (LCI): support extracellular-epitope detection on non-permeabilized cells when appropriate.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Conceptual control: KO/KD samples provide orthogonal support for target assignment when available.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-AG.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
