Anti-Flotillin 2 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 4D8A3) (Dylight488 Conjugate)

FLOT2 (Flotillin 2), also known as ESA1 or M17S1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLOT2 gene. Schroeder et al. (1991) isolated a cDNA for an epidermal surface antigen believed to be involved in epidermal cell adhesion. By analysis of a somatic cell hybrid panel and in situ hybridization using the ESA cDNA, the gene was mapped to 17q11-q12 in the region containing the NF1 gene. Bickel et al. (1997) found that Flot2 consistently copurifies with Flot1 and with caveolin-1 in the purification of caveolin-rich membranes. Using a quantitative proteomic analysis of cultured neuronal stem cells, Li et al. (2012) found that palmitoylation and oligomerization of flotillin-2 was abolished in homozygous Dhhc5 mutant neuronal stem cells. The absolute amount of flotillin-2 was not changed in Dhhc5 mutant neurons.

E.coli-derived human Flotillin 2 recombinant protein (Position: K169-K344). Human Flotillin 2 shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both and rat Flotillin 2.

Molecular chaperone; assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis. As part of the BBS/CCT complex may play a role in the assembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulating transports vesicles to the cilia. Known to play a role, in vitro, in the folding of actin and tubulin.
