Anti-LGI2 Antibody

The leucine-rich, glioma inactivated gene 2 (LGI2) is a member of the LGI family in which LGI1 is the exemplar. The LGI family consists of four of highly related proteins containing leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) which are highly similar to other transmembrane signaling molecules and receptors. LGI1 has been identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene for glioma and plays a role in autodominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADTLE), an epileptic syndrome characterized by focal seizures with predominant auditory symptoms. Despite its high homology with LGI1 and similar pattern of expression, mutations in LGI2 have not been found to be associated with ADTLE.

This LGI2 antibody is predicted to be specific to LGI2 and not recognize other LGI proteins.Three isoforms of LGI2 are known to exist; this LGI2 antibody will recognize only the longest.

LGI2 antibody was raised against a 10 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human LGI2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 290 - 340 of LGI2.

LGI2 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
