Gene Information

human ... ARMS2(387715)

General description

Age-related maculopathy susceptibility protein 2 (ARMS2) is highly expressed in the human placenta and retina. The biological function of ARMS2 has not been fully characterized. However, previous studies have linked mutations in the ARMS2 and HtrA1 genes, located on chromosome 10q26, to the occurrence of age-related macular degeneration type 8, a condition of irreversible vision loss in the elderly.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human ARMS2.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in ARPE-19 cells. (Pericak-Vance, M., et al. (2009). Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 50(7): 3084–3090.)
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurodegenerative Diseases
This Anti-ARMS2 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting for the detection of ARMS2.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in human placenta tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected ARMS2 on 10 µg of human placenta tissue lysate.

Target description

~12 kDa observed. An uncharacterized band appears at ~60 kDa in some lysates.

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in PBS containing 0.1% azide.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Analysis Note

Control
Human placenta tissue lysate

We determined the function of ARMS2 and HtrA1 in the choroid and retina using transgenic (Tg) mice and evaluated the effects of mainstream cigarette smoke on these mice. The chicken actin promoter (CAG) was used to drive mouse HtrA1, human
