Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
Multiple isoforms of FNIP2 are known to exist. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with FNIP1.
Purification
FNIP2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
FNIP2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human FNIP2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 860 - 910 of FNIP2.
FNIP2 antibody can be used for detection of FNIP2 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples and Immunohistochemistry in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

FNIP2 Antibody: FNIP2 is the second protein found to interact with folliculin, the product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) gene. Folliculin is thought to act as a tumor suppressor as mutations or loss of heterozygosity in this gene are associated with BHD syndrome-related renal tumors. Folliculin and FNIP1, a protein that shares 49 % identity to FNIP2, bind to AMPK, an important energy sensor in cells that negatively regulates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein that is thought to be the master switch for cell growth and proliferation. FNIP1 and FNIP2 are able to form homo- and heteromeric multimers, suggesting these proteins may have a functional relationship.
