EMP2 Antibodies

AND EMP2 ELISA kits, EMP2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect EMP2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with EMP2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop EMP2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to EMP2 by testing them on tissues known to express EMP2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the EMP2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

EMP2 Overview

Facts about Epithelial membrane protein 2.

EMP2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2)

Functions as a key regulator of cell membrane composition by regulating proteins surface expression. Additionally, it plays a role in regulation of processes such as cell migration, cell proliferation, cell contraction and cell adhesion.

Negatively regulates caveolae formation by reducing CAV1 expression and CAV1 amount by raising lysosomal degradation (PubMed:24814193). Facilitates surface trafficking and formation of lipid rafts bearing GPI-anchor proteins (By similarity).
