The N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (heparan glucosaminyl) 2 (NDST2) protein, also known as N-heparan sulfate sulfotransferase 2, and the highly related protein NDST1 have key roles in the sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans, molecules that are present of cell surfaces and the extracellular matrix (1,2). NDST1 and NDST2 are dispensable for mesodermal differentiation into osteoblasts but necessary for induction of adipocytes and neural cells (3).1) Humphries DE, Lanciotti J, and Karlinsky JB. cDNA cloning, genomic organization and chromosomal localization of human heparan glucosaminyl N-deacetylase/N-sulphotransferase-2.

Immunogen
NDST2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human NDST2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 20 - 70 of NDST2.
Key Feature

Host Species
Rabbit
Tested Applications
ELISAIFWB
NDST2 antibody can be used for detection of PDCL by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.:
Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Bovine: (100%)
Tissue Specificity
NDST2 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least two isoforms of NDST2 are known to exist; this antibody will only detect the larger isoform. NDST2 antibody is predicted not to cross-react with other members of the NDST protein family.
