Western blot - Anti-Laminin 2 alpha antibody (AB140482)

This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% Milk before being incubated with ab140482 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Laminin 2 alpha antibody (AB140482)

IHC image of Laminin 2 alpha staining in human placenta formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab140482, 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Laminin 2 alpha also known as laminin alpha 2 or merosin is a subunit of the laminin protein family that contributes to the structure of the extracellular matrix. It forms part of the heterotrimeric laminin 211 complex comprising alpha beta and gamma chains. Laminin 2 alpha has a molecular weight of approximately 300 kDa and is expressed in various tissues especially in skeletal muscle and the peripheral nervous system. This subunit plays an important role in anchoring cells to the basement membrane facilitating cellular adhesion and communication.

Biological function summary

Laminin 2 alpha contributes to the integrity and function of the basement membrane by forming a scaffold that connects cells and tissues. It is part of the greater laminin molecule which contains other laminin proteins and helps in cell differentiation migration and adhesion. The protein serves as a binding site for various integrins and dystroglycans contributing to the development and repair processes within muscular and neural systems. It ensures stability in tissue architecture maintaining proper cell signaling pathways in collaboration with other extracellular matrix components.

Pathways

Laminin 2 alpha is involved in processes essential for tissue integrity and repair. It plays a role within the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway which is important for cell survival and metabolism. In this pathway laminin 2 alpha of the laminin 211 complex interacts with integrins and dystroglycan complexes facilitating downstream signaling for cellular growth and differentiation. Additionally laminin 2 alpha assists in the MAPK pathway connecting with proteins like FAK which regulates cell adhesion and proliferation important for healthy tissue function and response to damage.

Laminin 2 alpha is closely related to congenital muscular dystrophies particularly Merosin-deficient Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A). This disorder is characterized by muscle weakness and developmental delays resulting from mutations in the laminin alpha 2 chain. Disruptions in laminin 2 can affect its interaction with the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex leading to compromised muscle membrane stability and tissue degeneration. Another connection exists with neuropathies where laminin 2 alpha's role in the peripheral nervous system can contribute to neural dysfunction if the protein is improperly expressed or mutated.

Target data

Binding 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.
