Anti-BECN2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein beclin 2. 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, BECN2 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. Synonyms for this target antigen include Beclin-1-like protein 1 and beclin-1 autophagy-related pseudogene 1. BECN2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of BECN2 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.
