Anti-Spred2 Antibody

Spred2 is a member of the Sprouty family, a group of proteins that act as negative regulators during development. Like Spred1, Spred2 acts by suppressing the phosphorylation and activation of Raf. The Spred proteins have also been implicated in the negative feedback regulation of FGF signaling in embryogenesis and angiogenesis. Further studies have shown that expression levels of Spred1 and Spred2 proteins are inversely correlated with the incidence of tumor invasion and metastasis in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HHC), suggesting that these proteins could be useful as prognostic factors and therapeutic targets in HCC. At least two isoforms of Spred2 are known to exist.

Spred2 antibody was raised against a 13 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of the human Spred2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 140 - 190 of Spred2.

Spred2 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.
