SLAMF2 Antibody: The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 2 (SLAMF2), also known as CD48, is a GPI-anchored protein that exists as both a soluble and membrane-associated form and is expressed in almost all leukocyte populations particularly in mitogen-stimulated human lymphocytes. SLAMF2 is a high-affinity ligand for SLAMF4, also known as 2B4, as well as a low-affinity ligand for CD2, and can thus can stimulate cells expressing these receptors. It has been shown to be an IL-3-induced activating receptor on eosinophils and is likely to be involved in promoting allergic inflammation. SLAMF2 is also thought to be involved in the IL-18/IL-18R signaling cascade in T and natural killer cells to produce interferon-gamma.1) Smith GM, Biggs J, Norris B, et al.

Immunogen
SLAMF2 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human SLAMF2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of SLAMF2.

WB
SLAMF2 antibody can be used for detection of SLAMF2 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/mL.:
Two isoforms of SLAMF2 are known to exist; this antibody will recognize both isoforms. SLAMF2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SLAM protein family members.
