Related Product Information for anti-PFN2 antibody
Profilins (Profilin-1, Profilin-2 and Profilin-3) act as nucleotide exchange factors that use ATP to charge Actin, a process that regulates Actin polymerization by subsequently sequestering the Actin monomer. Profilin-2, also known as PFN2 or PFL, is a 140 amino acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in kidney, brain and skeletal muscle. Like other members of the Profilin family, Profilin-2 functions as an Actin monomer-binding protein that influences the structure of the cytoskeleton by regulating Actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. High levels of Profilin-2 inhibit Actin polymerization, while lower levels enhance Actin polymerization, suggesting that the expression of Profilin-2 is regulated by the need for polymerization within the cell. Two isoforms of Profilin-2 exist due to alternative splicing events.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

profilin 2: Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Belongs to the profilin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Actin-binding

Product Notes

The PFN2 pfn2 (Catalog #AAA3006643) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Profilin-2 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Profilin-2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500-1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PFN2 pfn2 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Profilin-2, 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.
