REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

The Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 2 commonly known as STAT2 is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa. It functions mainly as a transcription factor and is an essential mediator of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. STAT2 is expressed in various tissues including immune cells where it responds to external stimuli. It works by translocating to the nucleus upon phosphorylation subsequently influencing the expression of genes involved in immune response.
Biological function summary
Members of the STAT protein family including STAT2 play a central role in mediating immune responses. STAT2 often forms a complex with STAT1 and other proteins such as IRF9 to initiate the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). This complex known as the ISGF3 complex facilitates the cellular response to viral infections by promoting the expression of antiviral proteins that help modify the host cellular environment to resist viral replication.
Pathways
The involvement of STAT2 is closely associated with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the interferon signaling pathway. In these pathways it interacts with proteins like JAK1 TYK2 and STAT1 playing a part in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. Such pathways are fundamental to regulating the body's immune response to pathogens and managing cell growth and apoptosis in various cells.
STAT2 alterations have been linked to autoimmune diseases and viral infections. Disruptions in STAT2 function can impair the body's ability to combat viruses effectively making individuals more susceptible to infections. STAT2 mutations or dysregulations might also connect to disorders like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus where immune system malfunctions occur. The interactions of STAT2 with other proteins like STAT1 and IRF9 in disease contexts underline its importance in maintaining immune system balance.
