Biological background
Biological context: May modulate neuronal adhesion and neurite growth during development by binding to neural cell adhesion molecules (NG-CAM and N-CAM). Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; binds to hyaluronic acid.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Secreted ., tissue context: Brain..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare MAT2B levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of MAT2B in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify MAT2B-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: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) family. MAT catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. This protein is the regulatory beta subunit of MAT. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Secreted .
- Tissue details: Brain.
- Research category: Cell Adhesion Proteins,ECM Proteins,Neuroscience
