General description

Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 (RHOT2) is a GTPase having a C-terminal transmembrane domain which targets it to the mitochondria. It also has GTP-binding domains which are separated by a linker region with calcium-binding motifs.

Immunogen

Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-RHOT2 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 at a dilution of 1:500. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 (RHOT2) is involved in mediating mitochondrial transport. It interacts with hypoxia up-regulated mitochondrial movement regulator (HUMMR) which influences mitochondrial transport in the anterograde direction. RHOT2 induces the aggregation of thread-like mitochondria but doesn′t take part in their formation. Along with Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), it takes part in mediating axonal mitochondrial transport and also links mitochondria to kinesin.

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.
