Goat Sterol carrier protein 2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-SCP2 antibody
Goat anti-Sterol carrier protein 2 Antibody
Immunohistochemistry: In paraffin embedded Human Liver shows speckled cytoplasm staining in hepatocytes. Recommended concentration, 3-6ug/ml.
Western Blot: Preliminary experiments gave an approx 50kDa band in Human Liver lysates after 0.3ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 59. 0kDa according to NP_001007099.1 and of 6.7kDa according to NP_002970.2. The 28kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes two proteins: sterol carrier protein X (SCPx) and sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2), as a result of transcription initiation from 2 independently regulated promoters. The transcript initiated from the proximal promoter encodes the longer SCPx protein, and the transcript initiated from the distal promoter encodes the shorter SCP2 protein, with the 2 proteins sharing a common C-terminus. Evidence suggests that the SCPx protein is a peroxisome-associated thiolase that is involved in the oxidation of branched chain fatty acids, while the SCP2 protein is thought to be an intracellular lipid transfer protein. This gene is highly expressed in organs involved in lipid metabolism, and may play a role in Zellweger syndrome, in which cells are deficient in peroxisomes and have impaired bile acid synthesis. Alternative splicing of this gene produces multiple transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
Uniprot Description
SCP2: Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis. Defects in SCP2 are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with dystonia and motor neuropathy (LDMN); also known as sterol carrier protein 2 deficiency. LDMN is a syndrome characterized by leukoencephalopathy, dystonic head tremor, spasmodic torticollis and reduced tendon reflexes in lower extremities. Additional features include hyposmia, pathologic saccadic eye movements, a slight hypoacusis, accumulation of branched-chain pristanic acid in plasma, and the presence of abnormal bile alcohol glucuronides in urine. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative promoter.

Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1: 32000. Immunohistochemistry: In paraffin embedded Human Liver shows speckled cytoplasm staining in hepatocytes. Recommended concentration, 3-6ug/ml. Western Blot: Preliminary experiments gave an approx 50kDa band in Human Liver lysates after 0.3ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 59. 0kDa according to NP_001007099.1 and of 6.7kDa according to NP_002970.2. The 28kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SCP2 scp2 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: KNHKHSVNNP YSQ. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sterol carrier protein 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.Precautions
