Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human FMN2. AA range:1541-1590
Specificity
Formin 2 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Formin 2 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
IHC: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/40000.. IF 1:50-200
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This gene is a member of the formin homology protein family. The encoded protein is thought to have essential roles in organization of the actin cytoskeleton and in cell polarity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mental retardation autosomal recessive 47 (MRT47). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015],
Function
PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Sequence of unknown origin in the C-terminal part.,similarity:Belongs to the formin homology family. Cappuccino subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 FH1 (formin homology 1) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 FH2 (formin homology 2) domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed almost exclusively in the developing and mature central nervous system.,
Other name
FMN2; Formin-2

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Cytoplasm, cytosol . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Nucleus . Nucleus, nucleolus . Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cytoplasm, cell cortex . Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:20082305). Recruited to the membranes via its interaction with SPIRE1 (By similarity). Detected at the cleavage furrow during asymmetric oocyte division and polar body extrusion (By similarity). Accumulates in the nucleus following DNA damage (PubMed:26287480). .
