Background Information

MICALs (Molecules Interacting with CasL) are atypical multidomain flavoenzymes with diverse cellular functions. There are three known isoforms, MICAL1, MICAL2, and MICAL3, as well as the MICAL-like proteins MICAL-L1 and MICAL-L2. MICAL2 has three conserved domains: an N-terminal flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding domain, a calponin homology (CH) domain, and a Lin11, Isl-1, and Mec-3 (LIM) domain. It has been demonstrated that MICAL2 could regulate actin stress fibers and is required for normal actin organization. In addition, MICAL2-PV, a novel splicing variant of MICAL2, has been reported to be involved in cancer progression of prostate cancer. This antibody can recognize both MICAL2 and MICAL2-PV. This antibody recognizes various isoforms of MICAL2 around 90-95 kDa or 109-112 kDa.
