Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Electron microscopy (EM) is a microscopy technique that detects the scatter of electrons through thin tissue sections. In Immuno-EM the antigen is usually revealed by colloidal gold conjugated secondary antibodies linking electron dense structures to antigen-bound primary antibodies.

Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to AA 1778 to 1791 from rat Big2 (UniProt Id: Q7TSU1)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (Q7TSU1), mouse (A2A5R2).
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for BIG 2 K.D. validated PubMed: 15198677
Remarks

IHC: Detects high levels of endogenous BIG 2 protein (e.g. in hippocampus). Regions with low expression levels may be difficult to interpret.

Background

Brefeldin A-inhibited guanine exchange factor 2 (BIG 2) belongs to the guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs).

Together with its close relative BIG 1 it is involved in the regulation of membrane traffic through activating ARFs and the recruitment of coat protein complexes, such as the COPI and the AP-1 clathrin adaptor complex.

It has been shown to interact with the beta-subunits of the GABA type-A receptors.
