A2M Antibody (PA5-102427) in WB
Western blot was performed using Anti-A2M Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-102427) and a 180 kDa band corresponding to Alpha-2-macroglobulin was observed across tested samples. Whole cell extracts (40 µg lysate) of Hep G2 (Lane 1), Hep G2 treated with Protein transport inhibitor (1X for 4 hours) (Lane 2), SK-BR-3 (Lane 3), SK-BR-3 treated with Protein transport inhibitor (1X for 4 hours) (Lane 4), Reh (Lane 5), PC-3 (Lane 6) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0321BOX). Resolved proteins were then t... View More

Product Specific Information
Antibody detects endogenous levels of total alpha 2 Macroglobulin/A2M.
Target Information
Alpha 2-Macroglobulin (a2M), is a approximately 720-kDa homotetrameric glycoprotein composed of four identical approximately 180 kDa subunits. aAlpha 2M shares with other alpha-macroglobulins, like the complement components C3 and C4 and the pregnancy zone protein PZP, an extraordinary binding capacity for a variety of ligands. This allows the alpha-macroglobulins to serve as humoral defense barriers against foreign peptides in the plasma. Alpha 2M interacts and captures virtually any proteinase, often referred to as a panprotease inhibitor. In the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, Alpha 2M also has been localized to diffuse amyloid plaques, supporting an important role for alpha 2M in AD etiopathology.
