Application

Anti-RTN2 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2.5µg/mL. It is also useful for immunohistochemistry at a concentration of 4-8µg/mL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

RTN2 (reticulon 2) gene also referred to as NSP2 or NSPL1 is a member of reticulon encoding gene family. It plays a pivotal role in organizing endoplasmic reticulum and distal motor axons. RTN2B, isoform of RTN2 regulates the trafficking as well as facilitates as a positive modulator for delivering the EAAC1 (excitatory amino acid carrier 1) from ER to the cell surface. Mutation in RTN2 gene leads to axon-degenerative disorder hereditary spastic paraplegia type 12.
