Anti-STAB2 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: The Stabilin-2 (STAB2) gene with 69 exons spanning 180kbp is mapped to human chromosome 12. Stabilin-2, also known as fasciclin, EGF-like, laminin-type EGF-like, and link domain-containing scavenger receptor-2 (FEEL-2) or hyaluronan receptor for endocytosis (HARE), is a large receptor containing 2551 amino acids belonging to the family of fasciclin-like hyaluronan receptor homologues. STAB2 transcript is expressed in spleen, bone marrow and liver.
• Immunogen: Stabilin-2 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
• Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: The hyaluronan receptor for endocytosis (HARE) or stabilin-2 functions as a mammalian endocytic clearance receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA), heparin, advanced glycation end-products, acetylated and oxidized low-density lipoproteins and collagen N-terminal propeptides. HARE/Stab2 facilitates binding of lymphocyte to sinusoidal endothelium by interacting with αMβ2 and α5β5 integrins. The encoded protein mediates phagocytosis of bacteria and apoptotic cells displaying cell surface phosphatidylserine. In mice, Stab-2 might assist in separating hyaluronan from the lymph or the blood circulation through the network of endothelial sinuses. The protein also exhibits scavenger receptor activity.
• Features and Benefits: Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
