Facts about Nesprin-2.
The nucleocytoplasmic interactions established by the LINC complex play an important role in the transmission of mechanical forces across the nuclear envelope and in nuclear movement and positioning. Specifically, SYNE2 and SUN2 assemble in arrays of transmembrane actin-associated nuclear (TAN) lines that are bound to F-actin cables and couple the nucleus to retrograde actin flow through actin-dependent nuclear movement.

The isoforms having the C-terminal transmembrane span can be found in several organellar membranes like the nuclear envelope, the sarcoplasmic reticulum of myoblasts, or the lamellipodia and focal adhesions at the cell me
Nesprin-2 is used in biological assays. These assays use antibodies that react to the protein. These antibodies react with Nesprin-2 in a variety of animal samples. Boster Bio sources its antibodies from rabbit and mouse. Nesprin-2 is part the LINC complex, which connects the nuclear membrane to the cytoskeleton. Boster Bio's antibodies can detect this protein in a variety biological samples.
The Boster's Cytoplasmic & Nuclear Protein Extraction Kit is a simple and versatile method that extracts high amounts of nuclear proteins from mammalian cells and tissue samples. This kit includes buffers, detergents and lysis reagents. It also contains protease inhibitors. In addition, it includes an easy-to-follow sample preparation guide.
Boster’s Cytoplasmic Protein Extraction Kit gives you cytoplasmic samples of upto 200 ug, while nuclear proteins yield upto 100 ug. Cross-contamination between these fractions is very rare - less than 10% This kit also allows for the adjustment of the concentrations of the reagents required for cytoplasmic as well as nuclear protein extract without compromising the effectiveness of your experiment.
Boster Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Protein Extraction kits contain optimized reagents to perform efficient, 90-minute protein purification. The simple procedure does not require gradients or ultracentrifugation. The kit also includes a BCA-protein assay kit to measure the isolated proteins. This kit is suitable to extract a wide variety of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins, including GAPDH or PCNA.
Biological assays usually use antibodies to detect Nesprin-2. These antibodies react with Nesprin-2 at different concentrations and are monoclonal as well as polyclonal. Boster Bio uses mice and rabbits for the development of its Nesprin-2 antibodies. Nesprin-2, a component of LINC complex that connects the cytoskeleton with the nuclear lamina, is a component.
This is a nuclear protein which belongs to the spectrin-repeat family. It consists mainly of two phospholipid blayers: the inner nuclear and outer nuclear molars. There is also a C terminal KASH transmembrane domain that acts as a NE targeting motif. This protein binds cytoplasmic Factin and tethers the cytoskeleton to it, maintaining structural integrity.
Western blot antigen detection is a common method for protein analysis. It uses SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) to separate target protein from background. The 3-D structure and lengths of native and denatured proteins are used to distinguish them. To identify the target protein after transfer, antibodies are used to stain the protein. The intensity can be measured and used as a marker for the protein's actual expression.
Two types of reagents are required to detect the target protein: the negative and positive controls. Positive controls confirm that the target is present and that the antibody works. Negative control controls are used for nonspecific staining. The blot is stained with the same method as the other samples after the addition of the positive control.
Secondary antibodies are conjugated to fluorescent molecules. Fluorophores emit light when exposed to light. The amount of target proteins on the membrane directly affects the intensity of light. Two secondary antibodies are combined to allow multiplexing. These secondary antibodies then become visible by Western blotting. The target protein is identified by the visible band of secondary antibodies.
There are two main types of error. The first is characterized as a weak signal, and requires repeating the experiment. The second type of error is marked by a weak signal and requires repeating the experiment. It occurs during blocking, washing protein transfer, detection, or washing. A weak western-blot signal could be caused by an uneven coating, uneven drying, or antibody aggregates. Below are possible causes.
To perform the test, you must dilute the primary antibody using the appropriate reagents. One mL of this solution will cover an 800 cm2 membrane. After the membrane is thoroughly covered, it should be gently blotted to remove excess solution. The membrane should then covered with a clear preserver film.
