PTPIA2beta is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and a single intracellular catalytic domain, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The catalytic domain of this PTP is most closely related to PTPRN/IA-2beta. This PTP and PTPRN are both found to be major autoantigens associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.1) Schmidli, R.S., et al., Autoimmunity 28(1):15-23 (1998).
Immunogen
This PTPIA2 beta antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 94-125 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human PTPIA2 beta.
Antibody is used in Western blot to detect PTPIA2 beta in C6 cell lysate.
Application Notes
For WB starting dilution is: 1:1000:
