Gene Information

human ... TRPM2(7226)

General description

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) belongs to the TRPM subfamily and is majorly expressed in the brain especially in substantia nigra, hippocampus, striatum, and cortex. It comprises a C-terminal nudix hydrolase 9 (NUDT9) homology domain, a six-helix transmembrane (TM) domain, a rib helix, and a pole helix. The TRPM2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 21q22.3. Variants of TRPM2 are observed in neutrophil granulocytes.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) serves as a calcium-permeable cation channel. It is activated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), ADP ribose, and by micro levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The C-terminal NUDT9 homology (NUDT9H) domain mediates adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) synthesis from adenosine diphosphate (ADP)–ribose (ADPR). It is also permeable to sodium and potassium and activated by oxidant stress. TRPM2 via its calcium-signaling responses is involved in various immunological functions and neuroinflammation. It is also correlated to amyloid β (Aβ) generation as well as with the oxidative damage in the pathologies related to Alzheimer′s disease, and other diseases like multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorders.

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.
