Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human MRP2/ABCC2, which shares 77.1% and 71.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MRP2/ABCC2, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 190-250 kDa; calculated MW: 174 kDa
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2. Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), also called canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter 1 (cMOAT) or ATP-binding cassette sub-family C member 2 (ABCC2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABCC2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein is expressed in the canalicular (apical) part of the hepatocyte and functions in biliary transport. Substrates include anticancer drugs such as vinblastine; therefore, this protein appears to contribute to drug resistance in mammalian cells. Several different mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Functional note: Mediates hepatobiliary excretion of numerous organic anions. May function as a cellular cisplatin transporter. Reported localization: Apical cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Expressed by polarized cells in liver, kidney and intestine. The highest expression is found in liver.

- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of ABCC2 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
