Laminin  Alpha-2 Polyclonal Antibody

Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. LAMA2 encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.

The Laminin Alpha-2 Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and reliable tool designed for the detection and analysis of Laminin Alpha-2 protein in various biological samples. This antibody has been extensively validated for its exceptional performance in immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and western blotting (WB) applications.

Laminin Alpha-2 is a crucial component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays a vital role in maintaining tissue integrity and cell adhesion. Dysregulation or mutations in the Laminin Alpha-2 gene have been associated with various muscular dystrophies, including congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A). Therefore, the accurate detection and quantification of Laminin Alpha-2 protein are of utmost importance in both research and clinical settings.
