Rabbit Anti-Presenilin-2 (AD3LP, AD5, E5-1, STM-2)

Presenilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PSEN2 gene.[1]Kovacs et al. (1996) demonstrated that the expression patterns of PS1 and PS2 in the brain are extremely similar to each other and that messages for both are primarily detectable in neuronal populations. Immunochemical analyses indicated that PS1 and PS2 are similar in size and localize to similar intracellular compartments (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex). Li et al. (1997) demonstrated that wildtype PS1 and PS2 are localized to the nuclear membrane, its associated interphase kinetochores, and the centrosomes.In melanocytic cells PSEN2 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[2]

UniProt Number
P49810
Gene ID
PSEN2
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin and Frozen).
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store 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.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human Presenilin-2, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by two amino acids.
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human, mouse and rat Presenilin-2. No crossreactivity with other proteins.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
