Anti-ATXN2 (SCA2, ATX2, TNRC13, trinucleotide repeat containing 13, spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (olivop

Ataxin-2, the protein encoded by the ATXN2 gene, contains a polyglutamine tract, long expansions (greater than 33 repeats) of which result in spinocerebellar ataxia-2 (SCA2), an autosomal dominant form of olivopontocerebellar atrophy. The gene for spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) has been mapped to 12q24.1. Ataxin-2 associates with L- and T-plastin and that overexpression of ataxin-2 leads to accumulation of T-plastin in mammalian cells. UniProt Number: Q99700, Gene ID: ATXN2, Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Handling: Store at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term., Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
