Anti-Sprouty-2 SPRY2 Antibody

Sprouty was originally identified as an inhibitor of Drosophila epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor signaling during tracheal development. Four isoforms of mammalian sprouty are known (Spry1-Spry4) . The role of the mammalian analogs has not been clearly elucidated although it is believed that human Sprouty-2 (hSpry2) may be an inhibitor of cellular migration and proliferation. Spry2 and Spry4 show considerable sequence homology between human and mouse at the C-terminus of the protein. Significant sequence divergence occurs at the N-terminus. Spry2 appears to be abundant in brain, lung and heart tissue, with lesser amounts found in kidney and skeletal muscle.

Anti-Sprouty-2 affinity purified antibody was purified from monospecific rabbit antiserum prepared via repeated immunizations with peptide corresponding to an internal region of human sprouty-2.

Anti-Sprouty-2 was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Sprouty-2 antibody reacts with human Sprouty 2 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with Sprouty 2 from human, monkey, and orangutan based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with Sprouty2 from other sources has not been determined.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

Anti-Sprouty-2 antibody has been tested by ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and is suitable for western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
