Anti-ECT1 antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The ECT1 antigen is another term for the human protein fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, encoded by the FGFR2 gene. The protein is reported to be a tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis, and in the regulation of embryonic development. Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 821 residues and a mass of 92 kilodaltons. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles, Golgi, and cell membrane. The ECT1 protein is a member of the Tyr protein kinase protein family. Other alias names for ECT1 include BBDS, BEK, and BFR-1. Some ECT1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
