Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunofluorescence (IF)
Specificité
At least three isoforms of PIWI-L2 are known to exist, this antibody will only detect the two longest isoforms. PIWI-L2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other PIWI protein family members.
Purification
PIWI-L2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogène
PIWI-L2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human PIWI-L2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 410 - 460 of PIWI-L2.

PIWI-L2 Antibody: PIWI-L2 is a member of the PIWI subfamily of Argonaute proteins, evolutionarily conserved proteins containing both PAZ and Piwi motifs that are crucial for the biogenesis and function of small non-coding RNAs and play important roles in stem cell self-renewal, RNA silencing, and translational regulation in diverse organisms. PIWI-L2 has been implicated in multiple roles including stem cell self-renewal and is highly expressed in many breast cancers. In these tumors, PIWI-L2 silences the expression of STAT3, a regulator of Bcl-XL and cyclin D1, allowing the proliferation and survival of breast cancer stem cells. Recent studies have shown that overexpression of PIWI-like proteins are potential biomarkers for colon and other cancers.
