Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare TAB2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of TAB2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify TAB2-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: Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7-interacting protein 2, also known as TAB2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAP3K7IP2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is an activator of MAP3K7/TAK1, which is required for the IL-1 induced activation of nuclear factor kappaB and MAPK8/JNK. This protein forms a kinase complex with TRAF6, MAP3K7 and TAB1, thus serves as an adaptor linking MAP3K7 and TRAF6. TAB2 functionally links TAK1 to TRAF6. What's more, TAB2 can act as a sensor for inflammatory signals by serving as a molecular beacon for recruitment of MEKK1 (MAP3K1), which in turn mediated dismissal of the NCOR/HDAC complex and permitted derepression of AR and estrogen receptor target genes.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
