General description
Nesprin-2 (SYNE-2) is also known as Nuclear envelope spectrin repeat protein 2 or Nucleus and actin connecting element protein, and it functions to network organelles and the actin cytoskeleton in order maintain subcellular spatial organization. Nesprin-2 connects nuclei to the cytoskeleton by interacting with the nuclear envelope and cytoplasmic F-actin, and is required for centrosome migration to the apical cell surface during early ciliogenesis. Nesprin-2 is widely expressed, with high levels seen in kidney, adult and fetal liver, stomach and placenta. Defects in SYNE2 are responsible for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 5 (EDMD5).
~250 kDa observed. Uncharacterized band(s) may be observed in some cell lysates.
Immunogen
His-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Nesprin-2.
Application
Detect Nesprin-2 using this mouse monoclonal antibody, Anti-Nesprin-2 Antibody, clone K20-478 validated for use in western blotting, ICC & IP.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution of this antibody detected Nesprin-2 in HepG2 and COS-7 cells.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory immunoprecipitated Nesprin-2 in HA-MKS3 transfected HEK293 whole cell extracts. Immunoprecipitated sample was then subjected to Western Blotting using the same representative lot of antibody (Dawe, H. R., et al. (2009). J Cell Sci. 122(Pt 15): 2716-2626.).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory detected Nesperin-2 in IMCDE whole cell extracts. High levels of a 25 kDa ABD-containing isoform was observed only at post-confluence (+72 hours); however, a second major ABD-containing isoform was observed at 55 kDa before and after confluence (Dawe, H. R., et al. (2009). J Cell Sci. 122(Pt 15): 2716-2626.).
