Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected EB1, EB2, and EB3 in NIH/3T3 cells (Van der Vaart, B., et al. (2011). J Cell Biol. 193(6):1083-1099).
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated EB1, EB2, and EB3 in HeLa cell extracts (Van der Vaart, B., et al. (2011). J Cell Biol. 193(6):1083-1099).

This Anti-EB1, EB2 & EB3 Antibody, clone KT65 is validated for use in western blotting, ICC & IP for the detection of EB1.

General description

EB (End-binding) proteins are evolutionarily conserved and are important for extending tips of microtubules as well as regulating microtubule dynamics and communication with other intracellular substances. EB1 (End binding protein 1) encoded by the gene EB1/MAPRE1, EB2 (End binding protein 2) encoded by EB2/MAPRE2, and EB3 (End binding protein 3 also known as Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 3) encoded by EB3/RP3/EBF3-S2/EBF3/MAPRE3 bind directly with end-tracking proteins (+TIPs). +TIPs influence microtubule growth, rescue, dynamicity, and suppression. EB1, EB2, and EB3 play major roles in cellular migration and adhesion, and are thought to associate with adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to mouse EB1, EB2, and EB3.
