Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human NDRG2, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by three amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 41 kDa; calculated MW: 41 kDa
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ICC/IF, 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
Protein NDRG2; Protein NDRG2. Protein NDRG2, also known as KIAA1248, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NDRG2 gene. It is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. This gene is mapped to 14q11.2. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that may play a role in neurite outgrowth. This gene may be involved in glioblastoma carcinogenesis. It contributes to the regulation of the WNT signaling pathway. Also, this gene may be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation. Functional note: Contributes to the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Down-regulates CTNNB1-mediated transcriptional activation of target genes, such as CCND1, and may thereby act as tumor suppressor. May be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation. . Reported localization: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell projection, growth cone . In neurons, seems to concentrate at axonal growth cone. Perinuclear in neurons (By similarity). . Expression/tissue context: Highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and salivary gland, and moderately in kidney and liver. Expressed in dendritic cells, but not in other blood cells. Expression levels are low in pancreatic and liver cancer tissues; absent in meningioma. Expressed in low-grade gliomas but present at low levels in glioblastoma. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are present in brain neurons and up-regulated in Alzheimer disease (at protein level). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Alzheimer's Disease: Researchers commonly examine how NDRG2 (Protein NDRG2) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how NDRG2 (Protein NDRG2) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cell Cycle: Researchers commonly examine how NDRG2 (Protein NDRG2) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative NDRG2 (Protein NDRG2) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
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.
