Tight junction proteins (TJPs) belong to a family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) homologs that are involved in the organization of epithelial and endothelial intercellular junctions. Duclos et al. (1994) mapped the TJP2 gene telomeric to the Friedreich ataxia critical region on chromosome 9q13-q21. TJP2 lies about 70 kb centromeric to the X123 gene and is transcribed in the centromere-to-telomere ion. Using in vitro assays and immunoprecipitation studies, Itoh et al. (1999) showed that the mouse Tjp1, Tjp2, and Tjp3 PDZ1 domains interacted with the C-terminal cytoplasmic domains of Cldn1 through Cldn8. In the mouse inner ear, Walsh et al. (2010) found that Tjp2 expression decreased rapidly between E16.5 and age 1 week to a level in adult mice that was approximately 50% of the level at birth (P0).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side .

Isoform alpha is expressed in breast, ovary, testis, prostate, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, placenta liver, kidney, salivary gland, small intestine and brain, but not in uterus, stomach, pancreas, and spleen. Isoform 3 is the predominant form in mesenchymal cells and in non-neuronal organs, whereas isoform 6 is the major neuronal form. Isoform 8 is expressed in spinal cord and brain. Isoform 9 is the major form in skeletal muscle cells; in the nervous system it is expressed in spinal cord and brain. Also detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. Isoform 10 is expressed in nervous system: spinal cord motor neurons, dorsal root ganglion neurons, and brain. Predominant isoform expressed in sensory and motor neurons. Not detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. Not expressed in fetal lung, liver and kidney. Type IV isoforms are brain-specific. .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSequence similarities (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Belongs to the MAGUK family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly studied in contexts related to Cell Adhesion,Cytoskeleton\/ECM,Signal Transduction,Tight Junctions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blot (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare relative target abundance and apparent size\/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry (IHC):\u003c\/strong\u003e Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence \/ ICC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation\/permeabilization compatibility and controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype\/FMO controls conceptually.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-reactivity (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e No cross-reactivity with other proteins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO\/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal):\u003cbr\u003e- Product datasheet fields provided in this catalog row (vendor-supplied).\u003cbr\u003e- UniProt Knowledgebase (general protein annotations): https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/\u003cbr\u003e- NCBI Gene (general gene-level references): https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/\u003cbr\u003e--\u003e","brand":"Boster Bio","offers":[{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Unconjugated","offer_id":53069802537325,"sku":"PA1971","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Biotin","offer_id":53070272168301,"sku":"PA1971-Biotin","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Cy3","offer_id":53070272201069,"sku":"PA1971-Cy3","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro488","offer_id":53070272233837,"sku":"PA1971-Fluoro488","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro550","offer_id":53070272266605,"sku":"PA1971-Fluoro550","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro594","offer_id":53070272299373,"sku":"PA1971-Fluoro594","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ FITC","offer_id":53070272332141,"sku":"PA1971-FITC","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ HRP","offer_id":53070272364909,"sku":"PA1971-HRP","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ APC","offer_id":53070272397677,"sku":"PA1971-APC","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ PE","offer_id":53070272430445,"sku":"PA1971-PE","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro647","offer_id":53070272463213,"sku":"PA1971-Fluoro647","price":670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Carrier Free","offer_id":53070272495981,"sku":"PA1971-carrier-free","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/pa1971-tjp2-primary-antibodies-wb-testing-1_1.jpg?v=1772612604","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-tight-junction-protein-zo-2-tjp2-antibody-picoband-bha21007205","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
