General description
Cysteine-rich hydrophobic domain-containing protein 2 (CHIC2), also referred to as BTL (brx-like translocated in leukemia), belongs to cysteine-rich hydrophobic (CHIC) family of proteins. The protein is characterized with the striking CHIC motif. Palmitoylation of cysteine residues on the CHIC motif of the protein enable its localization on to vesicular structures and the plasma membrane. The gene coding for CHIC2 protein is mapped to human chromosome 4q21.

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
Cysteine-rich hydrophobic domain-containing protein 2 (CHIC2) gene mutation is noticed in few cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis, proved the expression of Fip1-like 1 (FIP1L1) - platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRA) fusion gene in myeloid cells using CHIC2 deletion as a surrogate marker.
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.

We recently cloned the CHIC2 gene (previously BTL) by virtue of its involvement in a chromosomal translocation t(4;12)(q11;p13) occurring in acute myeloid leukemias. In this study we show that CHIC2 is a member of a highly conserved family of proteins
