Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets axin-2 (gene AXIN2) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 93.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
Axin-2 (AXIN2, also called conductin) is a scaffold protein of the β-catenin destruction complex and a negative regulator of Wnt signaling. Because AXIN2 is itself a direct Wnt target gene, its expression is widely used as a readout of Wnt/β-catenin pathway activity, and it marks Wnt-responsive stem cells in several tissues.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human Jurkat cells, human PC-3 cells, human MDA-MB-453 cells, human SW620 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, 30 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 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human renal carcinoma tissue, human spleen tissue, human thyroid cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HepG2 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human Axin 2/AXIN2 fragment (Asp614–Asp843), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places axin-2 in the cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in brain and lymphoblast. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
