epitope mapping within an internal region of LANCL2 of human origin
recommended for detection of LANCL2 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IF and ELISA; also reactive with additional species, including equine, canine, bovine, porcine and avian
LANCL2 Background Information LANCL2 (LanC-like protein 2), also known as TASP (testis-specific adriamycin sensitivity protein) or GPR69B, is a 450 amino acid member of the LanC-like protein family. Localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane, LANCL2 is expressed highly in brain and testis. The gene that encodes LANCL2 maps to human chromosome 7 and is considered a bystander gene that is coamplified and overexpressed with EGFR in 20% of glioblastomas. Human Chromosome 7 is about 158 milllion bases long, encodes over 1000 genes and makes up about 5% of the human genome. Chromosome 7 has been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. The deletion of a portion of the q arm of chromosome 7 is associated with Williams-Beuren syndrome, a condition characterized by mild mental retardation, an unusual comfort and friendliness with strangers and an elfin appearance. Deletions of portions of the q arm of chromosome 7 are also seen in a number of myeloid disorders including cases of acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplasia.
