Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab11576 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IHC-Fr | Use a concentration of 4 - 8 µg/ml. This concentration was determined for acetone-fixed frozen sections of human tongue. |
|
| ICC/IF | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| WB | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Detects a band of approximately 400 kDa. | |
| ELISA | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| ICC | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| IP | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Target
- FunctionBinding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components.
- Tissue specificityPlacenta, striated muscle, peripheral nerve, cardiac muscle, pancreas, lung, spleen, kidney, adrenal gland, skin, testis, meninges, choroid plexus, and some other regions of the brain; not in liver, thymus and bone.
- Involvement in diseaseDefects in LAMA2 are the cause of merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A) [MIM:607855]. MDC1A is characterized by difficulty walking, hypotonia, proximal weakness, hyporeflexia, and white matter hypodensity on MRI.
- Sequence similaritiesContains 17 laminin EGF-like domains.
Contains 5 laminin G-like domains.
Contains 2 laminin IV type A domains.
Contains 1 laminin N-terminal domain. - DomainThe alpha-helical domains I and II are thought to interact with other laminin chains to form a coiled coil structure.
Domains VI, IV and G are globular. - Cellular localizationSecreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix > basement membrane. Major component.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Laminin 2 alpha antibody [4H8-2] (ab11576)This image is courtesy of an Abreview submitted by Dr Ling Guoab11576 staining C57B6 mouse skeletal muscle cryostate tissue sections by IHC-Fr. The section was acetone fixed and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 mintes at RT, prior to incubation with the primary antibody (diluted 1/200 in blocking buffer) for 2 hours. A rhodamine-conjugated goat anti-rat antibody was used as the secondary.
