Application

Monoclonal Anti-Dynamin 2 (DNM2) antibody produced in mouse has been used in: immunoblotting immunoprecipitation immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

DNM2 (dynamin 2) is a GTPase which is required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. It is important for clathrin-coated pit maturation and clathrin-coated vesicle formation. DNM2 participates in neuronal morphology, axonal growth, centrosome cohesion, actin- and microtubular organization. Mutations in it are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, centronuclear myopathy ADCNM (autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy) and lethal congenital contractures syndrome type 5 (LCCS5). It is upregulated in prostate cancer.

Furthermore, DNM2 is upregulated in pancreatic cancer as it activates Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1). It also promotes invasive cellular migration and lamellipod protrusion.

General description

Monoclonal Anti-Dynamin 2 (DNM2) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma DYN2-11 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide. Dynamin 2 (DNM2) also known as DYN2 belongs to the dynamins family of guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) proteins.

The gene DNM2 (dynamin 2) is mapped to human chromosome 19p13. It is widely expressed. The protein has a catalytic amino-terminal GTPase domain, a middle domain, a pleckstrin homology domain (PH), a GTPase effector domain (GED) and a less conserved carboxyl-terminal proline/arginine rich domain (PRD).
