Application

Anti-IMPDH2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IMPDH2 (inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2) encodes a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis that catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of inosine-5′-monophosphate (IMP) into xanthine-5′-monophosphate (XMP). It maintains the cellular guanine deoxy- and ribonucleotide pools that are required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA. It may be involved in some tumor progression and malignancy and may serve as a target for anticancer and immunosuppressive chemotherapy as it catalyzes an important step in purine nucleotide biosynthesis, which is necessary for the proliferation of lymphocytes.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
