Anti-ANK2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein ankyrin 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 3957 amino acid residues and a mass of 433.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the adrenal gland and cerebellum. ANK2 is known to play an important role in the localization and membrane stabilization of ion transporters and ion channels in several cell types, including cardiomyocytes, as well as in striated muscle cells. Synonyms for this target antigen include FAP87, LQT4, brank-2, ankyrin 2, neuronal, ankyrin B, ankyrin, brain, ankyrin-2, nonerythrocytic, and CFAP87. ANK2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of ANK2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry are also common applications.
