AHP494 recognises human Presenilin-2 (PSEN2), binding to neurons in both normal and Alzheimer's disease brain. Mutation of PSEN2 is associated with the early onset form of autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease.
PSEN2 is an essential component of the gamma-secretase complex along with APH-1 (APH-1A or APH-1B), PSEN1, Pen-2 (PEN2), and nicastrin (NCSTN). This endoprotease complex plays a vital role in the evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway, by catalyzing the intramembrane S3 cleavage of ligand-activated Notch receptor proteins (Notch1-4), resulting in the generation and release of an activated NICD fragment, which then translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of downstream effector genes.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Immunohistology
This product does not require protein digestion pre-treatment of paraffin sections. This product does not require antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. 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
Antisera to Presenilin-2 were raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen.
