Biological background

Biological context: Thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Has also been shown to be calcium-selective. May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein., tissue context: Expressed in brain with higher levels in fetal brain. Found in cerebellum and occipital pole..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare MSL2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of MSL2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify MSL2-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: MSL2 (MSL Complex Subunit 2) is a protein coding gene located on human chromosome 3q22.3. MSL2 is also known as MSL-2, MSL2L1 and RNF184. The human MSL2 gene encodes a 62541 Da protein containing 577 amino acids. The MSL2 protein is ubiquitously expressed in bone marrow, lymph node and other tissues. Among its related pathways are Chromatin organization and Chromatin Regulation / Acetylation. MSL2 is related to ligase activity. MSL2 is associated with some diseases, such as Atrial Septal Defect 3.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein.
• Tissue details: Expressed in brain with higher levels in fetal brain. Found in cerebellum and occipital pole.
• Research category: Calcium Channels,Calcium Signaling,Metabolism,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Plasma Membrane,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway
