Biological background
MSH2 (protein: P2X purinoceptor 1) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): May play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide. . Reported cellular localization context: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cancer,DNA/RNA,DNA Damage & Repair,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Tumor Suppressors.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate MSH2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect MSH2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Quantify MSH2-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 25 kDa; calculated MW: 78458 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 25 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix .
- Tissue details (provided): Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
