General description

Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 2 (PTBP2) is also known as Neural polypyrimidine tract-binding protein, Neurally-enriched homolog of PTB and PTB-like protein. PTBP2 is a RNA-binding protein which targets intronic polypyrimidines and negatively regulates pre-mRNA, exonic splicing. PTBP2 also has a role in translational regulation. PTBP2 is mainly expressed in brain, but is also found in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoforms 1 and 2 are specifically expressed in neuronal tissues.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the N-terminus of PTBP2.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of human PTBP2.

Application

Anti-PTBP2 Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 2 & has been tested in western blotting & IP.
