Western blot data indicates that the CRISPR gene edit may have resulted in a truncation of the protein of interest. Please see data images.
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

RING2 also known as RING1B or RNF2 is a protein that functions as a member of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). This protein contains a RING-finger domain facilitating ubiquitin ligase activity. It has a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa. RING2/RNF2/RING1B is expressed in various tissues including the brain heart and lungs indicating its fundamental role across different biological systems.
RING2/RNF2/RING1B regulates gene expression by modifying chromatin structure especially through monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119. This action occurs within the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 a multiprotein structure important for maintaining the transcriptional repression of target genes. It influences cell cycle progression and development by silencing genes involved in proliferation and differentiation.
RING2/RNF2/RING1B's role connects to the Polycomb group (PcG) pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like BMI1 and EZH2 which are other components of polycomb complexes. These interactions help modulate chromatin dynamics and control the expression of several genes involved in cell identity and development.
Dysfunction or aberrant expression of RING2/RNF2/RING1B has links to cancer and neurological disorders. Its relationship with proteins like CBX8 ties it to pathways of oncogenesis where it can influence tumorigenesis through misregulation of gene silencing. Furthermore changes in RING2/RNF2/RING1B expression or function may contribute to developmental disorders associated with improper neuronal development.

Lane 1: Wild-type HeLa cell lysate (20µg)
Lane 2: RNF2 knockout HeLa cell lysate (20µg)
Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - Anti-RING2 / RING1B / RNF2 antibody [EPR12245] ab181140 observed at 42 kDa. Red - loading control, Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 observed at 50 kDa.
Anti-RING2 / RING1B / RNF2 antibody [EPR12245] ab181140 Anti-RING2 / RING1B / RNF2 antibody [EPR12245] was shown to specifically react with RING2 / RING1B / RNF2 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. The band observed in the knockout cell line Human RNF2 (RING2 / RING1B) knockout HeLa cell line ab264845 (knockout cell lysate ab257640) lane below 42kDa may represent truncated forms and cleaved fragments. This has not been investigated further. Wild-type and RING2 / RING1B / RNF2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk.
