Anti-MIA2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein MIA SH3 domain ER export factor 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1412 amino acid residues and a mass of 159.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 12 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in the liver and weakly in testis. A member of the MIA/OTOR protein family, MIA2 is reported to play a role in the transport of cargos that are too large to fit into COPII-coated vesicles and require specific mechanisms to be incorporated into membrane-bound carriers and exported from the endoplasmic reticulum. Synonyms for this target antigen include MEA6, MGEA, MGEA11, MGEA6, TALI, and CTAGE5. MIA2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of MIA2 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.
