Anti-MRP2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Anti-MRP2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the CPR96 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptideintestine.

The gene MRP2 (Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 2), also referred to as ABCC2 (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2), encodes a glycosylated protein belonging to the subfamily of MRP efflux pumps, the members of which are localized exclusively to the apical membrane domain of polarized cells, such as hepatocytes, renal proximal tubule epithelia, and intestinal epithelia. The protein consists of 1545 aa residues having a molar mass of ∼190 kDa. The gene with 32 exons is mapped to human chromosome 10q24.

Anti-MRP2 antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:

• western blotting
• immunohistochemistry
• immunofluorescence microscopy
• enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 2 (MRP2) contributes to bile flow and plays a detoxification role and provides protection against oxidative stress. Upregulation of MRP2 expression may be found in hepatocellular carcinomas.

The gene MRP2 (Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 2) encodes a protein involved in organic anion efflux. It is involved in biliary transport and the efflux of many conjugated compounds across the apical membrane of the hepatocyte into the bile canaliculi. It also participates in multi-drug resistance in mammalian cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an increased concentration of bilirubin glucuronosides in blood.
