Background: Profilins (Profilin-1, Profilin-2 and Profilin-3) act as nucleotide exchange factors that use ATP to charge Actin, a process that regulates Actin polymerization by subsequently sequestering the Actin monomer. Profilin-2, also known as PFN2 or PFL, is a 140 amino acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in kidney, brain and skeletal muscle. Like other members of the Profilin family, Profilin-2 functions as an Actin monomer-binding protein that influences the structure of the cytoskeleton by regulating Actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. High levels of Profilin-2 inhibit Actin polymerization, while lower levels enhance Actin polymerization, suggesting that the expression of Profilin-2 is regulated by the need for polymerization within the cell. Two isoforms of Profilin-2 exist due to alternative splicing events.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: Profilin-2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Profilin-2 protein.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 15 kDa
