General description

High-mobility group protein B2, also known as high-mobility group protein 2 (HMG-2), is a protein encoded by the HMGB2 gene in humans. The protein belongs to a family of chromatin proteins made up of two basic DNA binding domains, HMG box A and B, and a C-terminal acidic tail. It consists of highly conserved sequence, but different expression pattern.

Immunogen

High mobility group protein B2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

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

High-mobility group protein B2 (HMGB2) functions as a significant prognostic factor and may play a crucial role in cell invasion. The gene acts as a novel prognostic marker and an attractive therapeutic target for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The protein helps in altering DNA elasticity while facilitating transcription, replication and DNA repair. It plays a significant role in tumor development and during prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may also be associated with the antiapoptotic pathway.

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.
