Anti-LMP2

LMP2 Antibody is a IgG polyclonal antibody from Assay Genie with reactivity against Epstein-Barr virus and for use in ELISA, WB applications. LMP2 Antibody is a high quality polyclonal antibody for research use only.. Protein function: Isoform LMP2A maintains EBV latent infection of B-lymphocyte, by preventing lytic reactivation of the virus in response to surface immunoglobulin (sIg) cross-linking. Acts like a dominant negative inhibitor of the sIg-associated protein tyrosine kinases, LYN and SYK. Also blocks translocation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) into lipid rafts, preventing the subsequent signaling and accelerated internalization of the BCR upon BCR cross-linking. Serves as a molecular scaffold to recruit SYK, LYN and E3 protein-ubiquitin ligases, such as ITCH and NEDD4L, leading to ubiquitination and potential degradation of both tyrosines kinases. Possesses a constitutive signaling activity in non-transformed cells, inducing bypass of normal B lymphocyte developmental checkpoints allowing immunoglobulin-negative cells to colonize peripheral lymphoid organs.
