Related Product Information for anti-Tjp2 antibody
Tight junctions are intercellular junctions that act as both the barrier (or gate), and the fence. The barrier function of tight junctions regulates the passage of ions, water, and various macromolecules through paracellular spaces. The fence function maintains cell polarity, thus, tight junctions work as a fence to prevent intermixing of molecules in the apical membrane with those in the lateral membrane. Tight junctions are comprised of the membrane proteins ZO, occludin, claudins, and JAMs. The zonula occludens proteins, ZO-1, ZO-2 and ZO-3 are tight junction proteins that belong to the membrane-associated guanylated kinase (MAGUK) family. ZOs are involved in the organization of epithelial and endothelial intercellular junctions and bind to the cytoplasmic C-termini of junctional transmembrane proteins linking them to the actin cytoskeleton. ZOs contain some unique motifs not shared by other MAGUK family members, including nuclear localization and nuclear export signals and a leucine zipper-like sequence. ZOs also have potential involvement in cell growth and proliferation.

NCBI Description

a tight junction protein that may be involved in carotid neointimal formation [RGD]

Uniprot Description

ZO2: a scaffolding protein of the MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase) family associated with epithelial tight junctions (TJ). May mediate dynamic changes in the composition of TJs. Plays a role in tight junctions and adherens junctions. Forms homodimers, and heterodimer with ZO-1 and ZO-3. The ZOs shuttle between the TJ and the nucleus, where they may regulate gene expression. Interacts with occluding, UBN1 and scribble. Interacts with SAFB in the nucleus. TJ, or zonula occludens, are the closely associated areas of two cells whose membranes are tightly joined together. They are composed of a branching network of strands, the efficiency of which increases exponentially with the number of strands. The strands associate with transmembrane proteins that bind to similar proteins on adjacent cells, and with submembranous proteins that are anchored to the actin component of the cytoskeleton. Thus, TJs join together the cytoskeletons of adjacent cells. They endow tissues with substantial form, shape and location, enforce cellular polarity, and form barriers to molecules and pathogens. Molecules forming the membranous part of TJs include occludin, claudins, tricellulin and junctional adhesion molecules. These molecules interact with the proteins ZO-1, ZO-2 and ZO-3. Tight junction proteins are involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) in tumors. Five isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative promoters. Isoform A1 is abundant in the heart and brain. Detected in brain and skeletal muscle. It is present almost exclusively in normal tissues. Isoform C1 is expressed at high level in the kidney, pancreas, heart and placenta. Not detected in brain and skeletal muscle. Found in normal as well as in most neoplastic tissues..

Product Notes

The Tjp2 tjp2 (Catalog #AAA617294) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ZO-2, CT (Tight Junction-associated Polypeptide, Zonula Occludens 2) reacts with Canine, Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ZO-2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF). Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunofluorescence. Dilution: Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml Immunofluorescence: 2.5ug/ml. Cells need to be fixed with ice-cold ethanol for 30 minutes on ice prior to assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Tjp2 tjp2 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 "ZO-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.
