Biological background
Biological context: Coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide. In concert with LBP, binds to monomeric lipopolysaccharide and delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex, thereby mediating the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (PubMed:16148141). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:8612135, PubMed:15895089). Acts as a coreceptor for TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer in response to diacylated lipopeptides and for TLR2:TLR1 heterodimer in response to triacylated lipopeptides, these clusters trigger signaling from the cell surface and subsequently are targeted to the Golgi in a lipid-raft dependent pathway (By similarity). Acts as an accessory receptor for M.tuberculosis lipoproteins LprA, LprG and LpqH, in conjunction with coreceptors TLR2 and TLR1. The lipoproteins act as agonists to modulate antigen presenting cell functions in response to the pathogen (PubMed:19362712). Binds electronegative LDL (LDL (-)) and mediates the cytokine release induced by LDL (-) (By similarity).
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane, tissue context: Detected on peritoneal macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:8612135). Cell surface expression detected in lung alveolar macrophages, dendritic macrophages and lung macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:19362712)..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare MSH2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of MSH2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify MSH2-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: DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2, also known as MutS protein homolog 2 or MSH2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH2 gene, which is located on chromosome 2. MSH2 is a tumor suppressor gene and more specifically a caretaker gene that codes for a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MSH2 which forms aheterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSα mismatch repair complex. It also dimerizes with MSH3 to form the MutSβ DNA repair complex. MSH2 is involved in many different forms of DNA repair, including transcription-coupled repair, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. It has been found that MSH2 may also be a coactivator of ESR1-dependent gene expression.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cell membrane
- Tissue details: Detected on peritoneal macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:8612135). Cell surface expression detected in lung alveolar macrophages, dendritic macrophages and lung macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:19362712).
