Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Corepressor targeting diverse transcription regulators. Functions in brown adipose tissue (BAT) differentiation (By similarity). .
Scientific background (datasheet): The E1a region of group C adenoviruses encodes 2 nearly identical proteins that are largely responsible for the oncogenic properties of adenoviruses. The CTBP1 protein binds to the C-terminal half of these E1A proteins. It's predicted that CTBP2 is a 445-amino acid protein and it is 72% identical to CTBP1. The CTBP2 gene is mapped to chromosome 10q26.13. CTBP2 is a mammalian corepressor that targets diverse transcriptional regulators. It bounds the short medial portion of delta-EF1 containing the PLDLSL motif and it enhances transrepression activity of delta-EF1.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Nucleus . Cell junction, synapse .
Tissue details (datasheet): Ubiquitous. Highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. FSH/LSH/TSH subfamily.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Type Marker,Co-Factors,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Microbiology,Neuron Marker,Neuroscience,Synapse Marker,Transcription.
- 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.
