Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Arginase 2 (Arg2) also known as AII is an enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 39 kDa. It is part of the urea cycle and functions to hydrolyze L-arginine into L-ornithine and urea. Arg2 is a mitochondrial enzyme mainly expressed in the liver kidney and prostate. Its expression can extend to other tissues such as the small intestine in some conditions and its activity is important in regulating arginine availability for various physiological processes.
Biological function summary

Arg2 plays a role in nitrogen disposal and polyamine synthesis. As part of an enzymatic complex it contributes to the urea cycle which is important for the removal of excess nitrogen from the body. Arginase activity also influences the balance of nitric oxide synthesis as it competes with nitric oxide synthase for their common substrate L-arginine. This competition affects cellular functions which rely on nitric oxide signaling for developing proper vascular and immune responses.

Pathways

Arg2 is an important player in the urea cycle and the polyamine synthesis pathway. It works alongside the enzymes involved in these processes such as ornithine decarboxylase. Additionally Arg2 has a role in the nitric oxide regulation pathway modulating nitric oxide levels by limiting the availability of L-arginine for nitric oxide synthase. This makes Arg2 essential for metabolic processes and cellular communication.

Altered Arg2 expression has been associated with cardiovascular diseases and renal complications. For instance disruptions in Arg2 function can lead to endothelial dysfunction influencing conditions like atherosclerosis. Arg2 imbalances are also linked to kidney diseases possibly due to its critical role in ammonia detoxification and renal arginine metabolism. Its interaction with other proteins such as nitric oxide synthase further emphasizes its relevance in these health conditions.

Target data

May play a role in the regulation of extra-urea cycle arginine metabolism and also in down-regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Extrahepatic arginase functions to regulate L-arginine bioavailability to nitric oxid synthase (NOS). Arginine metabolism is a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses. Seems to be involved in negative regulation of the survival capacity of activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells (PubMed : 27745970). May suppress inflammation-related signaling in asthmatic airway epithelium (PubMed : 27214549). May contribute to the immune evasion of H.pylori by restricting M1 macrophage activation and polyamine metabolism (By similarity). In fetal dendritic cells may play a role in promoting immune suppression and T cell TNF-alpha production during gestation (PubMed : 28614294). Regulates RPS6KB1 signaling, which promotes endothelial cell senescence and inflammation and implicates NOS3/eNOS dysfunction (PubMed : 22928666). Can inhibit endothelial autophagy independently of its enzymatic activity implicating mTORC2 signaling (PubMed : 25484082). Involved in vascular smooth muscle cell senescence and apoptosis independently of its enzymatic activity (PubMed : 23832324). Since NOS is found in the penile corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, the clitoral corpus cavernosum and the vagina, arginase-2 plays a role in both male and female sexual arousal (PubMed : 12859189).
