Immunofluorescent analysis of HepG2 cells fixed using 4% formaldehyde (reconstituted in 1X PBS) for 10 min at room temperature and permeabilized using 0.1 % Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 min at room temperature labeling SCARB2 with ab313546 at 5 µg/mL dilution, followed by Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate at 1/2000 dilution. Panel a) shows representative cells that were stained for detection and localization of SCARB2 protein (green), Panel b) is stained for nuclei (blue) using DAPI. Panel c) represents lysosomal staining using Red DND-99. Panel d) is a composite image of Panels a, b and c clearly demonstrating co-localization of SCARB2 with LysoTracker which specifically binds to the Lysosomes. Panel e) represents control cells with no primary antibody to assess background. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

Product details

What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:

  • - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

Supplementary information

LIMPII also known as LIMP-2 is a lysosomal membrane protein involved in the transport and degradation processes within cells. It has an approximate molecular mass of 54 kDa. LIMPII is mainly expressed in the lysosomal membranes of a variety of tissues notably in the kidney liver and spleen. Its structural characteristics enable it to function effectively within these cellular organelles delivering enzymes and other molecules essential for cellular maintenance and function.
Biological function summary

The protein plays a critical role in lipid and protein degradation and helps maintain cellular homeostasis. As part of the lysosomal membrane LIMPII facilitates the uptake and processing of large biomolecules into the lysosome. It functions as a receptor for the uptake of β-glucocerebrosidase forming a complex to assist in its proper delivery from the endoplasmic reticulum to the lysosomes. This receptor-ligand relationship ensures efficient enzymatic activity necessary for lipid metabolism.

Pathways

One finds that LIMPII participates in the sphingolipid metabolism pathway and is vital for glucosylceramide catabolism. It interacts with glucocerebrosidase in this pathway which plays a significant role in the metabolism of glycosphingolipids. Another pathway where LIMPII has importance is the autophagy pathway where it contributes to the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. Its activity supports the turnover of cellular components maintaining cellular metabolic balance.

LIMPII's dysfunction has links to Gaucher's disease and atherosclerosis. Both conditions relate to improper lipid metabolism. In Gaucher's disease the interaction between LIMPII and glucocerebrosidase becomes disrupted leading to lysosomal storage issues. In contrast altered expressions of LIMPII correlate with atherosclerosis possibly due to its role in lipid processing. These associations suggest that LIMPII could be a significant factor in therapeutic approaches for these diseases.
