Gene Information

human ... MFAP2(4237)

General description

MFAP2 (microfibrillar-associated protein 2) protein is found to be expressed in the stroma and extracellular matrix of blood vessels, lung, muscle, skin and among other tissues. The gene is localized to human chromosome 1p36.1-p35.

Immunogen

Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-MFAP2 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

MFAP2 (microfibrillar-associated protein 2) gene encodes a secreted protein that forms a component of the elastin-associated microfibrils. It is involved in cell-associated and matrix-associated functions. It is capable of binding to fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 that are part of the extracellular microfibrils. It functions in the binding and activation of αvβ3 integrins and modulates Notch signaling. Overexpression of this protein has been associated with poor prognosis in a study of human papillary serous ovarian carcinomas. It is found to promote the progression of ovarian cancer through its pro-angiogenic activity.

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:
  • 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.

MAGP2 is a small extracellular protein with both tumor angiogenesis and cell signaling activity. MAGP2 was originally isolated biochemically from microfibril-rich connective tissue. The localization of MAGP2 to microfibrils has been confirmed by both immunohistochemistry and immunogold electron microscopy. Whether
