IGF2BP2 Antibody

SKU: orb1823552

Description

IGF2BP2 (Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2) is also known as IGF2 mRNA-binding protein 2, IMP-2 (IGF-II mRNA-binding protein 2), VICKZ family member 2 or hepatocellular carcinoma autoantigen p62 and is a 556 amino acid protein. IGF2BP2 is expressed in a variety of tissues including heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, pancreas, fetal liver, lung, kidney, thymus and gonadal cells. IGF2BP2 is an RNA binding protein which may be involved in the regulation of mRNA translation and may also function to control the spatial localization of target mRNAs. Antibodies against IGF2BP2 have been detected in patients with HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma), suggesting that IGF2BP2 may have a role in the pathogenesis of HCC. Defects in IGF2BP2 are thought to be associated with susceptibility to type two diabetes mellitus.

Analysis of a HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using IGF2BP2 antibody (PCRP-IGF2BP2-1F9). Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a mAb to its intended target. A mAb is considered to specific to its intended target, if the mAb has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a mAb binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that mAb to protein X is equal to 29.
