Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
AFAP1L2/XB130 (D1B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total AFAP1L2/XB130 protein. In some cell extracts this antibody recognizes an 80 kDa background protein of unknown origin.
Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly638 of human AFAP1L2/XB130 protein.
Background
The actin-filament associated protein (AFAP) family consists of AFAP1, AFAP1L1, and AFAP1L2/XB130, a group of structurally similar proteins that play distinct roles in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and signal transduction. Actin filament-associated protein 1-like 2 (AFAP1L2, XB130) is an adaptor protein that regulates signaling downstream of multiple kinases, including Src, Akt, and the thyroid specific kinase RET/PTC (1-3). Through these pathways, AFAP1L2/XB130 mediates transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation, motility, and microRNA expression (4,5). Research has shown that AFAP1L2/XB130 is involved in the proliferation and survival of thyroid tumor cells (6), and may have value in gastric cancer prognosis (7).
