Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SYNE2 in samples. An antibody specific for SYNE2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySYNE2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SYNE2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SYNE2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:SYNE2 is a nuclear outer membrane protein that binds cytoplasmic F-actin. This binding tethers the nucleus to the cytoskeleton and aids in the maintenance of the structural integrity of the nucleus. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. SYNE2 contains multiple spectrin repeats and a 60-amino acid C-terminal region homologous to the Drosophila protein Klarsicht. RT-PCR analysis showed low to moderate expression of 2 SYNE2 splice variants in most tissues examined, including skeletal and cardiac muscle, kidney, liver, pancreas, and placenta, and indicated that alternative splicing patterns are conserved between SYNE1 and SYNE2.Nesprin-2-gamma also has a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a leucine zipper motif.
