Anti-TIN2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-TIN2 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma TIN-30 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human TIN-2, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The six shelterin subunits are: TRF1, TRF2, and POT1 which directly recognize the TTAGGG repeats, and TIN2, Rap1 and TPP1. TIN2 (TRF-1 interacting nuclear factor 2) is recruited to the telomere through the TRF homology (TRFH) domain of TRF1 and tethers TPP1/POT1 to TRF1 and TRF2.

Monoclonal Anti-TIN2 antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting.

TIN2 (TRF-1 interacting nuclear factor 2) also connects TRF1 to TRF2 and this link contributes to the stabilization of TRF2 on telomeres. In addition, TIN2 has also been found to tether the telomeres to the nuclear matrix. Interestingly, this protein has also been found to be mutated in Dyskeratosis Congenita, a multi-system disorder which in its classical form is characterized by abnormalities of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes.
