Gene Information

human ... NF2(4771)

General description

NF2 is a tumor suppressor present in the nucleus and membranes of cells. NF2 modulates mitotic inhibition, and also regulates the adhesion and polarity of epithelial cells. Additionally, this protein facilitates contact inhibition . Anti-NF2 antibody is specific for NF2 in humans.

Immunogen

Merlin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-NF2 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 protein array and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige. Anti-NF2 antibody is also suitable for use in indirect immunofluorescence assays.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)
These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

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.

Recent evidence suggests that the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) gene encoded protein merlin suppresses mitogenic signalling not only at the cell membrane but also in the nucleus. At the membrane, merlin inhibits signalling by integrins and tyrosine receptor kinases (RTKs)
