Anti-NIPA2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NIPA magnesium transporter 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 360 amino acid residues and a mass of 39.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the NIPA protein family, NIPA2 is known to act as a selective Mg(2+) transporter. Synonyms for this target antigen include non imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome 2, non-imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome region protein 2, and magnesium transporter NIPA2. NIPA2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some NIPA2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
