Anti-CCM2 antibody produced in rabbit

Cerebral cavernous malformation 2 (CCM2) is an adaptor protein containing two domains and the gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 7p. The phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain in CCM2 is essential for binding to other proteins.

Anti-CCM2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Cerebral cavernous malformation 2 (CCM2) is a scaffold protein taking part in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation during hyperosmotic stress. It is also involved in different signaling pathways concerned with vascular integrity. CCM2 may play a role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during the development of the brain. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein are associated with familial cerebral cavernous malformations.

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.
