There is a non-specific 18kDa band present in skeletal muscle lysates, which is attributed to cross-reactivity of the PADI2 antibody.Replenishment batches of ab16478 are tested in WB. Previous batches were additionally validated in ELISA, Flow Cyt, ICC\/IF and IHC-P. These applications are still expected to work and are covered by our Abpromise guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nForm-Liquid, Purification technique-Affinity purification Immunogen, Storage buffer-pH: 7.4Preservative: 0.02% Sodium azideConstituents: PBS, 1% BSA, Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage duration-1-2 weeks, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Aliquoting information-Upon delivery aliquot, Storage information-Avoid freeze \/ thaw cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nPADI2 also known as PAD2 or PADdeux is a protein that performs post-translational modification by converting arginine residues into citrulline residues in proteins through a process known as citrullination. This protein has an approximate mass of 75 kDa. PADI2 is expressed in many tissues but shows higher levels in the brain skeletal muscle and mammary gland. Within these tissues PADI2 plays a role in regulating various physiological processes by altering protein function through citrullination.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPADI2 contributes significantly to the regulation of gene expression protein function and signal transduction. PADI2 does not exist as part of a larger protein complex yet it interacts with other proteins to regulate cellular processes. In particular it modifies histones which impacts chromatin structure and gene expression playing a role in cell differentiation and immune response modulation. Its activity can affect various cellular outcomes by regulating the function and interaction of different protein substrates.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPADI2 takes part in gene regulation and cell differentiation processes by modifying histones and impacting chromatin structure. It is integral in pathways related to inflammation and immune responses such as the NF-kB signaling pathway enhancing its biological role. PADI2 interacts with multiple proteins including histones and other signaling molecules reinforcing its critical role in these pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nPADI2 has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis due to its role in immune modulation and inflammation. In rheumatoid arthritis aberrant citrullination by PADI2 contributes to the production of autoantibodies which are involved in the disease's pathogenesis. It also associates with abnormal neural processes in multiple sclerosis where citrullinated proteins potentially contribute to the demyelination process. In these conditions PADI2's function relates closely with other citrullinating proteins such as PADI4 highlighting the interconnectedness of these pathways in disease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855830896809,"sku":"ab16478","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab16478","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
