NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein involved in the regulation of planar cell polarity, especially in the stereociliary bundles of the cochlea. The encoded protein transmits directional signals to individual cells or groups of cells in epithelial sheets. This protein is also involved in the development of the neural plate.

Uniprot Description
VANGL2: Involved in the control of early morphogenesis and patterning of both axial midline structures and the development of neural plate. Plays a role in the regulation of planar cell polarity, particularly in the orientation of stereociliary bundles in the cochlea. Required for polarization and movement of myocardializing cells in the outflow tract and seems to act via RHOA signaling to regulate this process. Interacts through its C-terminal region with the N- terminal half of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3. The PDZ domain of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3 is required for the interaction. Also interacts with the PDZ domains of MAGI3, SCRIB/SCRB1 and FZD3. Belongs to the Vang family.

Product Notes
The Human VANGL2 vangl2 (Catalog #AAA2888250) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2888250 ELISA Kit recognizes Human VANGL2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vang-like protein 2, ELISA Kit" 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
