TROP2 also known as TACSTD2 or tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein. This protein is about 35 kDa in mass and primarily expresses in epithelial tissues. It acts as a transmembrane receptor that plays a role in signal transduction due to its domain structure binding and activation processes on the cell surface. TROP2 exhibits high expression in several types of tumors making it a potential target for therapeutic antibodies like anti-TROP2 anti trop2 or anti-TROP-2.
TROP2 mediates calcium signaling and cell proliferation. It functions by being a part of a signaling complex on the cell membrane which affects multiple cellular activities such as cell growth motility and survival. Its role in maintaining the integrity of the epithelial cell layer also shows TROP2's significance in normal tissue homeostasis. The interaction of TROP2 with the extracellular matrix and other cell surface proteins support the structural integrity and communication between cells.
TROP2 plays a central role in the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and survival. Within these pathways TROP2 works in concert with proteins like ERK and AKT important for transmitting extracellular signals into appropriate cellular responses. These pathways are key regulators of many physiological processes including cell cycle progression and apoptosis prevention.
TROP2 is strongly associated with several types of cancers particularly epithelial cancers like breast and pancreatic cancer. Overexpression of TROP2 in tumors often correlates with poor prognosis and aggressive disease phenotypes. Interaction between TROP2 and proteins like EGFR in cancer cell signaling pathways amplifies tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding these associations makes TROP2 a significant target in developing therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

In Western blot, ab214488 was shown to bind specifically to TACSTD2. A band was observed at 36-70 kDa in wild-type MCF7 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TACSTD2 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and TACSTD2 knockout MCF7 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-0.1% Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.|
