The outer dense fiber of sperm tails 2 (ODF2) gene is located on the human chromosome at 9q34.11. This gene encodes for two proteins, namely testis-specific structural protein ODF2 and ubiquitous centriolar protein cenexin.
Synonyms: Anti-outer dense fiber of sperm tails 2 isoform 1 antibody produced in rabbit
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-ODF2 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: ODFs (outer dense fibres) consist of nine fibres surrounding the axoneme. They form the principal cytoskeletal structure of sperm tail. ODF2 is located at the sperm tail midpiece and principal piece. It has a thin cortex surrounded by central medulla. It is also involved in maintaining passive elastic structure and elastic recoil of the sperm tail and in protection of tail against shearing forces encountered during epididymal transport as well as during ejaculation.
