The TIAM2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC061418) is a valuable tool for researchers studying TIAM2, a protein involved in cell signaling pathways related to cancer and neurological disorders. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity for human samples, making it ideal for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the TIAM2 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential component of studies in molecular biology and neuroscience.
TIAM2, also known as T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing protein 2, plays a crucial role in cell migration and invasion, with implications for cancer metastasis and neuronal development. Its involvement in these processes highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. By investigating the function of TIAM2, researchers can uncover new insights into disease mechanisms and potentially identify novel treatment strategies.
IHC image of PACO61418 diluted at 1:300 and staining in paraffin-embedded human endometrial cancer performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Immunofluorescence staining of U251 cells with PACO61418 at 1:100, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
Background:
Modulates the activity of RHO-like proteins and connects extracellular signals to cytoskeletal activities. Acts as a GDP-dissociation stimulator protein that stimulates the GDP-GTP exchange activity of RHO-like GTPases and activates them. Mediates extracellular laminin signals to activate Rac1, contributing to neurite growth. Involved in lamellipodial formation and advancement of the growth cone of embryonic hippocampal neurons. Promotes migration of neurons in the cerebral cortex. When overexpressed, induces membrane ruffling accompanied by the accumulation of actin filaments along the altered plasma membrane (By similarity). Activates specifically RAC1, but not CDC42 and RHOA.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. A highly similar mouse protein specifically activates ras-related C3 botulinum substrate 1, converting this Rho-like guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) from a guanosine diphosphate-bound inactive state to a guanosine triphosphate-bound active state. The encoded protein may play a role in neural cell development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
