Laminin α-2 Antibody (4H8-2) is a rat monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Laminin α-2 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Anti-Laminin α-2 antibody (4H8-2) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. Laminins, including Laminin α-2, are crucial structural components of basement membranes, which are specialized extracellular matrices that provide support and anchorage to cells. These basement membranes are not only found beneath epithelial layers but also envelop blood vessels, muscle, peripheral nerves, and adipose tissue, playing a vital role in maintaining tissue integrity and function. The unique structure of Laminin α-2, which consists of a heterotrimeric assembly of α, β, and γ chains, allows interaction with various cell surface receptors, including integrins and dystroglycan, facilitating cell adhesion and signaling. Mutations in the Laminin α-2 gene are linked to congenital muscular dystrophy in humans and dystrophia muscularis in mice, highlighting its significance in muscle development and pathology.
