The antibody detects endogenous level of total STAT2 protein.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific immunogen. Specificity/Sensitivity Stat2 (Ab-690) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Stat2 protein.
Immunogène
Peptide sequence around AA 688-692 (R-K-Y-L-K) derived from Human STAT2. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates.
STAT2 encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. In response to interferon (IFN), this protein forms a complex with STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor family protein p48 (ISGF3G), in which this protein acts as a transactivator, but lacks the ability to bind DNA directly. Transcription adaptor P300/CBP (EP300/CREBBP) has been shown to interact specifically with this protein, which is thought to be involved in the process of blocking IFN-a response by adenovirus.
