ITM2B Antibody - N-terminal region
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Amyloid precursor proteins are processed by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase to produce beta-amyloid peptides which form the characteristic plaques of Alzheimer disease. This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is processed at the C-terminus by furin or furin-like proteases to produce a small secreted peptide which inhibits the deposition of beta-amyloid. Mutations which result in extension of the C-terminal end of the encoded protein, thereby increasing the size of the secreted peptide, are associated with two neurogenerative diseases, familial British dementia and familial Danish dementia.

Uniprot Description
ITM2B: Plays a regulatory role in the processing of the beta- amyloid A4 precursor protein (APP) and acts as an inhibitor of the beta-amyloid peptide aggregation and fibrils deposition. Plays a role in the induction of neurite outgrowth. Functions as a protease inhibitor by blocking access of secretases to APP cleavage sites. Defects in ITM2B are a cause of cerebral amyloid angiopathy ITM2B-related type 1 (CAA-ITM2B1). A disorder characterized by amyloid deposition in the walls of cerebral blood vessels and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, non-neuritic and perivascular plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the predominant pathological lesions. Clinical features include progressive mental deterioration, spasticity and muscular rigidity. ABri amyloidogenic peptide variant is cleaved at the normal furin processing site to generate peptide that accumulates in the brain and produces amyloid fibrils responsible for neuronal dysfunction and dementia. ABri peptide variant forms fibrila in vitro. Defects in ITM2B are a cause of cerebral amyloid angiopathy ITM2B-related type 2 (CAA-ITM2B2); also known as heredopathia ophthalmo-oto-encephalica. A disorder characterized by amyloid deposition in the walls of the blood vessels of the cerebrum, choroid plexus, cerebellum, spinal cord and retina. Plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are observed in the hippocampus. Clinical features include progressive ataxia, dementia, cataracts and deafness. ADan amyloidogenic peptide variant is cleaved at the normal furin processing site to generate peptide that accumulates in the brain and produces amyloid fibrils responsible for neuronal dysfunction and dementia. Belongs to the ITM2 family.

Product Notes
The ITM2B itm2b (Catalog #AAA3222454) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ITM2B Antibody - N-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ITM2B can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ITM2B itm2b for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: VKVTFNSALA QKEAKKDEPK SGEEALIIPP DAVAVDCKDP DDVVPVGQRR. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ITM2B, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
