Background Information
TCN2 (Transcobalamin-2) is a vitamin B12 (cobalamin; Cbl) binding and transport protein in plasma that facilitates the cellular uptake of the vitamin. TCN2 is secreted in a constitutive fashion in most cells. Plasma TCN2 levels have been reported to be elevated in a number of diverse human diseases. Defects in TCN2 are cause of transcobalamin-2 deficiency. (10714245)

Reviews
What customers say
One reviewer (Joseph Bauer, 2020) gave a 5-star rating after using this antibody for IHC on human, canine, and feline malignant tissues at dilutions of 1:50 (human/canine) and 1:25 (feline). They compared multiple TCN2 antibodies from different companies and found that the Proteintech clone provided the best sensitivity and specificity among those tested.
