    karyopherin α2 Antibody (2G7) is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects karyopherin α2 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). Karyopherin α2 plays a crucial role in the nuclear import process by recognizing and binding to specific substrates, which is essential for the regulation of gene expression and cellular function. Karyopherin α2 is primarily located in the cytoplasm, where anti-karyopherin α2 antibody (2G7) can detect interactions with various nuclear localization signals on cargo proteins, facilitating their transport across the nuclear envelope. The importance of karyopherin α2′s function is underscored by its involvement in the import of viral proteins, such as the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1), which can influence viral replication and pathogenesis. Karyopherin α2 (2G7) antibody enables researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms of nuclear transport and the implications of dysregulation in various diseases, including cancer and viral infections.
