Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Nck-2 (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the 8.8 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mice myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a C-terminal region of human Nck-2 protein fused to glutathione S-transferase (GST). NCK adaptor protein 2 (Nck-2) is a 43 kDa protein, that is 68 % identical at the protein level as that of Nck-1._x000D_ Nck-2 is an adaptor protein that regulates signal transduction in cells. This protein consists of one C-terminal SH2 domain and three N-terminal SH3 domains. Nck-2 interacts with several growth factor signaling components such as EGFR, IRS-1 and PDGFR, and also with the integrin-linked kinase signaling protein, LINCH ._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ The epitope recognized by the antibody resides within amino acids 176-274 of human Nck-2. Cross reactivity has been observed with human Nck-1. Monoclonal Anti-Nck-2 is specific for human, rabbit, rat and chicken Nck-2 (approx. 43 kDa). The product also binds to human Nck-1._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ C-terminal region of human Nck-2 protein (amino acids 115-380) fused to GST_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Nck-2 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:_x000D_ • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)_x000D_ • immunoblotting_x000D_ • immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • immunocytochemistry_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._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_ NCK adaptor protein 2 (Nck-2) can interact with kinases like the focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase involved in the cellular control of motility. It stimulates human melanoma cell proliferation.
