Anti-Stromal Antigen 2 (SA2, SA-2, STAG2, Cohesin Subunit SA-2, SCC3 Homolog 2)

Component of cohesin complex, a complex required for the cohesion of sister chromatids after DNA replication. The cohesin complex apparently forms a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. The cohesin complex may also play a role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA (Peptide): 1:128,000, Western Blot: 0.01ug/ml. Observed band at ~150kD in HeLa cell lysates , Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
