Anti-LSM2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein LSM2 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 95 amino acid residues and a mass of 10.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the SnRNP Sm proteins protein family, LSM2 is known to play a role in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complex that is involved in spliceosome assembly, and as component of the precatalytic spliceosome (spliceosome B complex). Synonyms for this target antigen include LSM2 U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated, LSM2 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA associated, protein G7b, and U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm2. LSM2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. A number of LSM2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
