Anti-LIM2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein lens intrinsic membrane protein 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 173 amino acid residues and a mass of 19.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to have eye lens specific expression. A member of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 protein family, LIM2 is known to be involved with eye development. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. The LIM2 gene has been associated with the disease, Cataracts. Synonyms for this target antigen include MP17, MP19, lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein, MP18, MP20, and CTRCT19. LIM2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some LIM2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunofluorescence is also a common application.
