Anti-TBE-1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the TBE-1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the MMP2 gene, which encodes matrix metallopeptidase 2. This protein is known to function in pathways of aging and angiogenesis, among other biological roles. The human version of TBE-1 has a canonical amino acid length of 660 residues and a protein mass of 73.9 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and extracellular matrix of cells and notably expressed in the lung, fallopian tube, endometrium, colon, and cerebral cortex. Other names for this target antigen include CLG4, CLG4A, and MMP-II. A number of TBE-1 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.
