AHP1678 specifically recognises an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human IGF2BP2 (Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2), an RNA binding protein and member of the RRM IMP/VICKZ family, which binds to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulates IGF2 translation.
Studies have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IGF2BP2 gene are linked with an increased susceptibility to type II diabetes within certain populations.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human IGF2BP2 (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
