General description

Flotillin-2 is a protein encoded by the FLOT2 gene in humans. Flotillin 2 is more widely distributed, but is absent in skeletal muscle. FLOT2, also called reggie-1, belongs to flotillin protein family integral membrane proteins comprising of prohibitin homology (PHB) domain or SPFH domain (stomatin/prohibitin/flotillin/HflK/C domain).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 415-428 of human flotillin 2 with an N-terminal added cysteine, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence differs by 2 amino acids in rat and mouse.

Application

Anti-Flotillin 2 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunofluorescence
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunoblotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Flotillin-2 is a protein encoded by the FLOT2 gene in humans. Flotillins are involved in cell adhesion processes and play a role during breast cancer progression. FLOT2 especially plays a functional role in cell-cell adhesion in non-malignant epithelial cells. It may have an essential function in intestinal physiology, especially in the colon. FLOT2 has been implicated in several signaling pathways in tumor cells and can be used as a prognostic biomarker for breast cancer progression.
The prohibitin homology (PHB) domain constitutes a lipid recognition motif which can target proteins to the plasma membrane. The association of flotillin 2 to the plasma membrane depends on palmitoylation and myristolation in a conserved Cys34. Flotillin 2 overexpression is associated with melanoma progression and transformation of SB2 melanoma cells to a highly metastatic line. It is also associated with expression of the thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor 1 (PAR-1), that is implicated in cell growth and metastasis. Flotillin 2 may be used as a marker protein for lipid raft microdomains.

Target description

Flotillin 2 (C-terminal) encodes a caveolae-associated, integral membrane protein, which is thought to function in neuronal signaling.

The etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) remains largely unexplained. Flotillins (flotillin-1 and flotillin-2) are ubiquitous proteins which have been linked to inflammation and regeneration. We hypothesized that alterations in the expression of flotillin-2 in enterocytes may be related to
