ADAMTS2 Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

PA1-25180 detects ADAMTS2 from human samples. PA1-25180 has been successfully used in Western blot procedures. The PA1-25180 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the propeptide domain of human ADAMTS2. Store product as a concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening the vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store product at -20° C or below, avioiding multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme encoded by this gene excises the N-propeptide of type I, type II and type V procollagens. Mutations in this gene cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC, a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants. The short transcript encodes a protein which has no significant procollagen N-peptidase activity.
