Description | Anti-Beclin 2 antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Beclin 2 antibody is human specific. At least two isoforms of Beclin 2 are known to exist; this antibody will only detect the longer isoform. Beclin 2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with Beclin 1. Autophagy, the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic-lysosomal pathway is important for normal growth control and may be defective in tumor cells (1,2). Beclin 2 is a mammalian specific homolog of the autophagy protein Beclin 1 (3). Like Beclin 1, Beclin 2 interacts with Bcl-2 and class III PI3K complex components. However, Beclin 2 functions in an additional lysosomal degradation pathway and is required for ligand-induced endolysosomal degradation of several G protein-coupled receptors (3). Beclin 2 is also required for agonist-induced lysosome-mediated degradation of EGFR in lung cancer cells, suggesting that it may also play a role in regulating other intracellular signaling pathways (4). |
Immunogen | Anti-Beclin 2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 16 amino acid peptide near the N-terminus of human Beclin 2. |
