Anti-AGAP2 Antibody

AGAP2 (also known as Arf-GAP with GTPase, ANK repeat and PH domain-containing protein 2) is a GTPase activating protein that inactivates Arf. The expression of AGAP2 is amplified in human glioblastoma cells. GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ARF1 and ARF5, which also shows strong GTPase activity. It mediates anti-apoptotic effects of nerve growth factor by activating nuclear phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Isoform 1 participates in the prevention of neuronal apoptosis by enhancing PI3 kinase activity. It aids the coupling of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) to cytoplasmic PI3 kinase by interacting with Homer scaffolding proteins, and seems to mediate anti-apoptotic effects of NGF by activating nuclear PI3 kinase. Isoform 2 does not stimulate PI3 kinase but may protect cells from apoptosis by stimulating Akt. It also regulates the adapter protein 1 (AP-1) -dependent trafficking of proteins in the endosomal system. It seems to be oncogenic. It is overexpressed in cancer cells, prevents apoptosis and promotes cancer cell invasion. Anti-AGAP2 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Developmental Biology, apoptosis, Cancer, Immunology, and Nuclear Signaling research.

This protein A purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 1-836 of human AGAP2 protein.

This protein A purified antibody is directed against human AGAP2 protein. The product was purified from monospecific antiserum by protein A chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with AGAP2 protein from mouse and rat based on 93% and 95% protein:protein homologies, respectively, with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
