Overview
Toll-like receptor 2 Antibody / Tlr2 is an antibody targeting Toll-like receptor 2, raised in Rabbit for protein detection and localization studies where these specifications are required.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Toll-like receptor 2.
- Antibody identity: Polyclonal (rabbit origin); Rabbit IgG.
- Conjugate/label: Unconjugated (affects detection chemistry and multiplex compatibility).
- Format: Antigen affinity purified.
- Species reactivity: Mouse.
- Listed applications: WB, Direct ELISA (refer to on-page specifications for application-specific guidance).
Biological background
Toll-like receptor 2 also known as TLR2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR2 gene. Enables lipoteichoic acid binding activity and peptide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular component organization; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of Toll-like receptor 2-Toll-like receptor 6 protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); dermatitis (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and rhinitis (multiple). Orthologous to human TLR2 (toll like receptor 2).
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- ELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
