At least two isoforms of HIG2 are known to exist, this antibody will detect both isoforms. HIG2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with HIG1
Purification
HIG2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
HIG2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human HIG2. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of HIG2.
HIG2 antibody can be used for detection of HIG2 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

HIG2 Antibody: HIG1 and HIG2 (Hypoxia-inducible gene 1 and 2, respectively) are known to be induced by hypoxic conditions. HIG2 is induced by hypoxia and by glucose deprivation in cultured cells. In addition, tumor xenografts derived from human cervical cancer cells display increased expression of HIG1 and HIG2 when they are deprived of oxygen. Unlike HIG2, which is ubiquitously expressed and might be an activator and target of the canonical Wnt pathway, the function and the mechanisms underlying its regulation of HIG1 still remained unknown. The putative link between hypoxia and an oncogenic signaling pathway might play an important role in tumorigenesis.
