Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis using 68586-1-Ig (same clone as 68586-1-PBS)

  Various lysates were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 68586-1-Ig (BCAT2 antibody) at dilution of 1:10000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The membrane was stripped and reblotted with HRP-conjugated Alpha Tubulin Monoclonal antibody (HRP-66031) as loading control. This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68586-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

• 

  IF Staining of A431 using 68586-1-Ig (same clone as 68586-1-PBS)

  Immunofluorescent analysis of (4% PFA) fixed A431 cells using BCAT2 antibody (68586-1-Ig, Clone: 1A5A5 ) at dilution of 1:1130 and Multi-rAb CoraLite® Plus 594-Goat Anti-Mouse Recombinant Secondary Antibody (H+L) (Cat.NO. RGAM004 ). This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 68586-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

Background Information

Branched-chain amino acid transaminase 2 (BCAT2) is an important enzyme in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) catabolism that reversibly catalyzes the initial step of BCAA degradation to branched-chain acyl-CoA. In humans, BCAT2 encodes a mitochondrial protein that is ubiquitously expressed in all organs (except hepatocytes) (PMID:32467562). Moreover, other reports showed that overexpressed BCAT2 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells enhanced cell proliferation and survival in vitro and in vivo (PMID:35663242).
