Anti-Beclin 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the BECN2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 431 amino acid residues and a mass of 48.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. A member of the Beclin protein family, it is known to be involved in 2 distinct lysosomal degradation pathways: acts as a regulator of autophagy and as a regulator of G-protein coupled receptors turnover. Other names for this target antigen include Beclin-1-like protein 1 and beclin-1 autophagy-related pseudogene 1. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of Beclin 2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
