Anti-HBG2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein hemoglobin subunit gamma 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 147 amino acid residues and a mass of 16.1 kDa. It is notably expressed in the liver. It is a member of the Globin protein family. Post-translational modifications have been described, including acetylation. The HBG2 marker can be used to identify Erythroid Lineage Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include TNCY, G-gamma globin Paulinia, abnormal hemoglobin, fetal hemoglobin F subunit gamma 2, gamma globin, and HBG-T1. HBG2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse and rat species. Over 70 citations in the literature describe the use of HBG2 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
