NIR2 (NIR-2, DRES9, Drosophila Retinal Degeneration B, Phosphatidylinositol Transfer Protein Membrane-associated, PITPNM, PYK2 N-terminal Domain-interacting Receptor 2, RD9, RDGB, RDGB1, RDGBA1)
Description:
NIR2 belongs to a family of proteins that share homology with the Drosophila retinal degeneration B (rdgB) protein. Nir2, a human homolog of Drosophila melanogaster retinal degeneration B protein, is essential for cytokinesis.
A specific Thr residue in the Nir2 PI-transfer domain provides a regulatory site for targeting to lipid droplets. This may affect intracellular lipid trafficking and distribution & explain the dominant effect of the RdgB-T59E mutant on retinal degeneration.

Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
