General description
CALB2 (calbindin 2) gene encodes a calcium-binding protein that is also called as Calretinin. It is a member of troponin C superfamily, the members of which have six EF-hand domains that bind to calcium. It has a molar mass of 29kDa. It is predominantly expressed by certain cells in the nervous system and also in ovarian cells. It is abundantly expressed in colon carcinomas. The gene is localized to human chromosome 16q22.2.
Immunogen
Calretinin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-CALB2 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.

Biochem/physiol Actions
CALB2 (calbindin 2) gene encodes a protein that functions in modulating neuronal excitability and also induces apoptosis through the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. It is involved in several cellular processes, including message targeting and intracellular calcium buffering. It serves as a diagnostic marker for Hirschsprung disease and some cancers. It also serves as a marker for mesothelial differentiation.
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:
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.
