Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-kindlin-2 recognizes human, mouse, rat and canine kindlin-2. Kindlin-2, also known as fermitin family member 2 (FERMT2) or pleckstrin homology domain-containing family C member 1 (PLEKHC1), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 14q22.1. Kindlin-2 is a member of the kindlin protein family and has a ubiquitous expression pattern._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-kindlin-2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Storage and Stability_x000D_ For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Kindlin-2 acts as a focal adhesion protein and controls breast cancer progression by promoting genome instability. Kindlin-2, as an integrin-interacting protein, plays a vital role in integrin activation and integrin-mediated cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction. Kindlin-2 expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). Therefore, kindlin-2 can be considered as a potential biomarker for patients with HCC and PDACs._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ In order to obtain best results in different techniques and preparations we recommend determining optimal working concentration by titration test.
