Anti-AMY2B antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein amylase alpha 2B. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 511 amino acid residues and a mass of 57.7 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the pancreas. A member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 13 protein family, AMY2B is known to be involved with carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. Synonyms for this target antigen include AMY3, HXA, alpha-amylase 2B, 1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase 2B, amylase alpha 2B (pancreatic), and AMY2. AMY2B gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat and chimpanzee species. Over 90 citations in the literature describe the use of AMY2B antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
