Anti-INSM2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein INSM transcriptional repressor 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 566 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is found to be expressed in the heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas, and, to a lesser extent, in the brain, lung and spleen. INSM2 is believed to function as a a growth suppressor or tumor suppressor in liver cells and in certain neurons. Synonyms for this target antigen include insulinoma-associated 2, insulinoma-associated protein IA-6, zinc finger protein IA-6, and insulinoma-associated protein 2. INSM2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the INSM2 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
