General description
The gene CHN2 (β-chimerin) is mapped to human chromosome 7p15.3. The protein contains three domains: amino-terminal Src homology-2 (SH2) domain, the central C1 domain and a carboxyl-terminal GAP (GTPase-activating protein) domain.
Immunogen
Beta-chimaerin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-CHN2 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
CHN2 (β-chimerin) is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) and is activated by the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol. The GAP activity of CHN2 is particularly towards Rac. Polymorphism in CHN2 is linked with diabetic retinopathy (DR) risk and non-proliferative DR risk.
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.

The CHN2 gene encodes the β2-chimaerin, a Rac-specific guanosine-5'-triphosphatase activating protein with an important role in the establishment of functional brain circuitry by controlling axon pruning. Genetic studies suggest that the CHN2 gene harbors variants that contribute to addiction vulnerability
