Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: HeLa cells, HEK-293 cells, MCF-7 cells, Jurkat cells, Raji cells
• Positive IHC detected in: human skin cancer tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0
• Positive IF/ICC detected in: MCF-7 cells

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:1000-1:5000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:300-1:1200
• Immunofluorescence (IF)/ICC: IF/ICC : 1:400-1:1600

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

KPNA2 (karyopherin α2) is a nuclear import factor involved in the nucleocytoplasmic transport system. It is functionally involved in the tumor progression and is elevated in multiple cancers. KPNA2 expression may be a useful prognostic biomarker to monitor cancer prognosis.
