Anti-TNS2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein tensin 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1409 amino acid residues and a mass of 152.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. Up to 5 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in fetal kidney, brain, thymus, spleen, liver, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and small intestine. A member of the PTEN phosphatase protein family, TNS2 is reported to be a tyrosine-protein phosphatase, which regulates cell motility, proliferation and muscle-response to insulin. Synonyms for this target antigen include C1TEN, TENC1, C1 domain-containing phosphatase and tensin homolog, tensin like C1 domain containing phosphatase (tensin 2), tensin-like C1 domain-containing phosphatase, and C1-TEN. TNS2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of TNS2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
