Description
FOLR2 Antibody (PACO58761)
The Folr2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC058761) offered by AssayGenie is a valuable tool for researchers studying the Folr2 protein. Folr2, also known as Folate Receptor Beta, is a cell surface receptor involved in the transport of folate into cells. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and is validated for use in various research applications, including Western blotting.By binding to the Folr2 protein, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of Folr2 in different cell types, making it ideal for studies in fields such as cancer research, reproductive biology, and developmental biology.
Folr2 has been implicated in various biological processes, including cell proliferation and tissue growth, making it a promising target for investigating diseases like cancer and neural tube defects.Understanding the function and regulation of Folr2 is crucial for developing targeted therapies and diagnostic tools for diseases associated with folate metabolism and cellular growth. The Folr2 Polyclonal Antibody from AssayGenie provides researchers with a reliable reagent to advance their studies in this important area of biology.

 | IHC image of PACO58761 diluted at 1:400 and staining in paraffin-embedded human placenta tissue 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 Hela cells with PACO58761 at 1:133, 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: | Binds to folate and reduced folic acid, derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells. Has high affinity for folate and folic acid, analogs at neutral pH. Exposure to slightly acid, c pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release. |
| Synonyms: | Folate receptor β (FR-beta) (Folate receptor 2) (Folate receptor, fetal/placental) (Placental folate-binding protein) (FBP), FOLR2 |
| UniProt Protein Function: | FOLR2: Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells. Belongs to the folate receptor family. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Membrane protein, GPI anchor Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q13.3-q13.5 Cellular Component: anchored to external side of plasma membrane; cell surface; membrane Molecular Function:drug binding; folic acid binding; folic acid transporter activity; methotrexate binding Biological Process: folic acid transport; monocyte chemotaxis; positive regulation of cell proliferation; receptor-mediated endocytosis; regulation of thymidylate synthase biosynthetic process |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor (FOLR) family, and these genes exist in a cluster on chromosome 11. Members of this gene family have a high affinity for folic acid and for several reduced folic acid derivatives, and they mediate delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells. This protein has a 68% and 79% sequence homology with the FOLR1 and FOLR3 proteins, respectively. Although this protein was originally thought to be specific to placenta, it can also exist in other tissues, and it may play a role in the transport of methotrexate in synovial macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
