The gene NECAB2 (N-terminal EF-hand calcium binding protein 2) encodes a member of the NECAB family of proteins containing an N-terminal EF-hand domain involved in binding of Ca2+. The EF-hand domain contains a single site that binds to calcium and is located next to a NHR domain that contains a coiled-coil domain. The N-terminus contains a bacterial domain called the DUF176 or ABM motif with unknown function. In rats, it is predominantly expressed in the brain.
Synonyms: Anti-EF-hand calcium-binding protein 2; Anti-EFCBP2 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-N-terminal EF-hand calcium-binding protein 2; Anti-Neuronal calcium-binding protein 2; Anti-Stip-2; Anti-Synaptotagmin-interacting protein 2
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-NECAB2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). 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: The gene NECAB2 (N-terminal EF-hand calcium binding protein 2) encodes a neuronal calcium binding protein that is capable of binding to the C-terminal domain of the adenosine A2A receptor. This binding modulates cell surface expression of the receptor, the ligand-dependent internalization and the receptor-mediated activation of the MAPK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway.
