Description: Anti IDH2(R172W) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate. The isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family has three members, IDH1, IDH2 and IDH3. IDH2 plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. Defects in IDH2 are the cause of D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria type 2 (D2HGA2). Somatic mosaic mutations of this protein have also been found associated to Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome, and R172W IDH2 mutations do exist in diffusely infiltrative gliomas.
Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal region of IDH2 which includes the mutation of R172W, human origin.
Species Reactivity: recognizes IDH1(R172W) of vertebrates.
Storage Conditions: Store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles

Western blot:
Western blot analysis of recombinant IDH2(R172W) and wildtype proteins. Purified His-tagged IDH2(R172W) (lane 2) and wildtype protein (lane 1) were blotted with anti IDH2(R172W) monoclonal antibody (Cat. #26164).
Immunofluorescence:
Immunofluorescence of cells expressing IDH2 proteins with anti IDH2(R172W) antibody. HEK293T cells were transfected with pCDNA3-GFP IDH2 (WT) plasmid (left column) or pCDNA3-GFP IDH2(R172W) plasmid (right column), then fixed and stained with anti-IDH2(R172W) monoclonal antibody (Cat. #26164).
