Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificity
NDST2 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least two isoforms of NDST2 are known to exist, this antibody will only detect the larger isoform. NDST2 antibody is predicted not to cross-react with other members of the NDST protein family.
Purification
NDST2 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
NDST2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human NDST2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 20 - 70 of NDST2.
The N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (heparan glucosaminyl) 2 (NDST2) protein, also known as N-heparan sulfate sulfotransferase 2, and the highly related protein NDST1 have key roles in the sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans, molecules that are present of cell surfaces and the extracellular matrix (1,2). NDST1 and NDST2 are dispensable for mesodermal differentiation into osteoblasts but necessary for induction of adipocytes and neural cells (3).
