Anti-FGL2 antibody produced in rabbit，100UL，HPA021011-100UL，Sigma

General description

The gene FGL2 (fibrinogen-like protein 2) is mapped to human chromosome 7q11.23. It is a transmembrane protein. FGL2 is present on cell surface of endothelial cells and activated macrophages. Additionally, it can be present in secreted form.

Immunogen

Fibroleukin Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FGL2 (fibrinogen-like protein 2) behaves as an immune-suppressive modulator and a prothrombinase. It cleaves prothrombin to thrombin and exerts coagulant activity. In addition, it can induce PD1 (programmed cell death protein 1) and CD39 levels, promote number of MDSCs (myeloid-derived suppressor cells) and CD39⁺ regulatory T cells, and increase occurrence of tumor-supportive M2 macrophages. FGL2 is up-regulated in many cancers. FGL2 is up-regulated in humans suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. The serum levels of FGL2 increase in humans with systemic sclerosis.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
