Description

General description

Monoclonal Anti-S100A2 (S100L) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the SH-L1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice. S-100² is a set of small, thermolabile, highly acidic 10-20 kDa dimer proteins that are widely distributed in different tissues. The S-100 family consists of at least 10 members with a cell-type-specific expression pattern. It is a calcium-modulated protein. S100A2 is also called S100L. S100A2 has been shown to possess 43-47% homology with S-100α, S-100β and Calcyclin. It is expressed at high levels in kidney and lung, intermediate levels in muscle and low levels in brain and intestine.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes an epitope located on S100A2 (S100L is the old terminology) in a Ca²⁺ ion-dependent manner. The product does not react with other members of the EF-hand family such as calmodulin, parvalbumin, intestinal calcium-binding protein, S100A6 (calcyclin), caltropin, the α chain of S-100 (i.e. in S-100a and S-100ao), or the β chain (i.e. in S-100a and S-100b).

Immunogen

Ca²⁺-binding proteins from pig stomach tissue

Application

Monoclonal Anti-S100A2 antibody has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, immunohistology, western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-100 binds to calcium and zinc ions reversibly at physiologic pH and ionic strength, followed by a conformational change in the molecule. S-100 is a cell-growth regulator, increasing the membrane permeability to cations under physiologic conditions, stimulation of nucleolar RNA polymerase activity, interaction with the tumor suppressor protein p53 and as a carrier of proteins and free fatty acids in adipocytes. High levels of S100A2 are found also in the MDBK (Madin-Darby bovine kidney) cell line and in human glioma.
