General description
NFATC2 (nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 2) is a member of the nuclear factor family called NFAT. It is expressed in peripheral T-cells, as well as cells not belonging to the immune system. It is a heavily phosphorylated protein. It was first recognized as a regulator of transcription, influencing the proliferation and migration of T-cells.
Immunogen
Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-NFATC2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
NFATC2 (nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 2) is dephosphorylated and induced by calcineurin, which is a phosphatase. It is up-regulated in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), where it leads to elevated expression of interleukin-13 receptor α2subunit (IL-13Rα2). In GBM, this protein facilitates the invasiveness of the tumor by activating multiple invasion-promoting genes, such as matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), MMP9 and COX2 (cyclooxygenase 2). This protein is constitutively expressed in melanoma, and its expression is suppressed on treatment with cyclosporin A, which results in death of neoplastic cells. Thus, this protein has potential as a therapeutic target in melanoma.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
