Anti-BICD2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein BICD cargo adaptor 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 824 amino acid residues and a mass of 93.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus, Golgi, and cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. A member of the BicD protein family, BICD2 is known to act as a adapter protein linking the dynein motor complex to various cargos and converts dynein from a non-processive to a highly processive motor in the presence of dynactin. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include SMALED2A, SMALED2B, bA526D8.1, protein bicaudal D homolog 2, bicaudal D homolog 2, and SMALED2. BICD2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of BICD2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
