Biological background

Biological context: UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Single-pass type I membrane protein..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare ARG2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of ARG2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify ARG2-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: ARG2 (arginase, type II) encodes a 355-amino acid polypeptide.Using Northern blotting and RT-PCR,Vockley et al. (1996)found thatARG2is expressed as a 1.5-kb mRNA in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels of expression in prostate, brain, and kidney.By PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrid panels, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and radiation hybrid analysis,theARG2 gene is mapped to 14q24.1-q24.3. ARG2may be inducible and may be essential in the regulation of nitric oxide synthesis by modulating local arginine concentrations. Gotoh et al. (1996)showed thatARG2mRNA and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA were coinduced by lipopolysaccharide in a macrophage-like cell line. Arginase II has been implicated in the regulation of the arginine/ornithine concentrations in the cell. The mitochondrial location ofARG2and its coinduction with ornithine aminotransferase and involvement with proline biosynthesis in lactating rat mammary gland had led to the inference thatARG2is involved in biosynthetic functions, as opposed to the metabolic ones of the urea cycle.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Single-pass type I membrane protein.
• Research category: Immunology,T Cells
