ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone 2E8 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Astrotactin-2. It targets an epitope within 18 amino acids from the C-terminal half, lumenal domain.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the C-terminal half, lumenal domain.

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in Mouse brain membrane preparations.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution of this antibody detected ASTN2 in Mouse brain membrane preparations.

Tested Applications

Affinity Binding Assay:: A representative lot of this antibody bound ASTN2 peptide with a KD of 1.0 x 10-12 in an affinity binding assay.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 1 μg from a representative lot detected ASTN2 in one million A431 cells.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected ASTN2 in A431 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
Anti-ASTN2, clone 2E8 ZooMAb®, Cat. No. ZRB1283, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Astrotactin-2 and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, and Western Blotting.

Target description

Astrotactin-2 (UniProt: O75129; also known as ASTN2) is encoded by the ASTN2 (also known as KIAA0634) gene (Gene ID: 23245) in human. Astrotactin-2 is a multi-pass membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-49), which is subsequently cleaved off and the mature form has two lumenal domains (aa 50-206 and 456-1339), two transmembrane domains (aa 207-227 and 435-455) and one cytoplasmic domain (aa 228-434). It also contains three EGF-like domains and one fibronectin type III domain. Its highest expression is observed in the cerebellum and lower levels of expression are shown in hippocampus, cortex, and olfactory bulb. It localizes mostly to vesicles inside neural cells that may give a punctate antibody staining pattern in the soma and along neuronal processes. Astrotactin-2 interacts with Astrotactin-1 and mediates its recycling to the anterior pole of the cell membrane in migrating neurons. It is shown to be a key regulator of dynamic trafficking of synaptic proteins. It associates with recycling and degradative vesicles in cerebellar neurons and promotes endocytic trafficking and degradation of synaptic proteins. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
