Immunogen
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Ataxin-2 (TTAHFPYMTHPSVQAHHQQQL) was used as the immunogen for this Ataxin-2 antibody (100% mouse homology).
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Ataxin-2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.\. Western blot: 0.5-1 μg/mL, IF/ICC: 2-3 μg/mL,FACS: 1-3 μg/10^6 cells
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Buffer
0.5 mg/mL if reconstituted with 0.2 mL sterile DI water
Storage
-20 °C
Storage Comment
After reconstitution, the Ataxin-2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4°C. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Ataxin-2, the protein encoded by the ATXN2 gene, contains a polyglutamine tract, long expansions (greater than 33 repeats) of which result in spinocerebellar ataxia-2 (SCA2), an autosomal dominant form of olivopontocerebellar atrophy. The gene for spinocerebellar ataxia type 2(SCA2) has been mapped to 12q24.1. Ataxin-2 associates with L- and T-plastin and overexpression leads to accumulation of T-plastin in mammalian cells.
