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 an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human FNIP2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 100 - 150 of FNIP2.
FNIP2 antibody can be used for detection of FNIP2 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot 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.
