Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects inverted formin-2 (gene INF2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry, immunoprecipitation and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 135.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 180 kDa.
Inverted formin 2 (INF2) is a formin family protein that regulates the actin cytoskeleton, promoting both actin polymerization and filament severing. It is involved in actin-driven processes such as mitochondrial fission, and mutations in INF2 are known to cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human A549 cells, rat C6 cells, mouse brain tissue.
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.
