Rabbit anti Human Lass2

LASS2, a Human homologue of the yeast longevity assurance gene LAG1 is highly expressed in liver and kidney as compared to the expression of the Human LAG1 homologue LAG1Hs-1. LASS2 is located on chromosome 1q11. The LASS2 protein interacts with several membrane-associated receptors or transporters. LASS2 protein inhibits the colony formation of Human hepatoma cells in vitro, which suggests that this gene may be involved in the regulation of cell growth.

Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1:400 starting dilution) and immunohistochemistry (10-15 µg/mL). Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.

This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving Humans or animals.
