Anti-ASAH2 Antibody

Produced by Antibodies.com, this rabbit polyclonal reagent binds the human ASAH2 protein, also known as acid ceramidase 2. The unconjugated antibody is supplied in a 100 µl vial and supports western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows.

ASAH2 functions as a lysosomal amidohydrolase that cleaves ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acids, linking the target to sphingolipid turnover, membrane signaling, and ceramide-driven apoptosis pathways. Researchers studying lipid metabolism and lysosomal storage disorders apply the antibody to whole-cell lysates for band detection and to formalin-fixed tissue sections to map ASAH2 expression across liver, kidney, and intestinal epithelium.

For long-term use, aliquot the polyclonal stock and refrigerate between sessions to minimize freeze-thaw cycles of the active fraction. The unconjugated format allows pairing with HRP, biotin, or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies for chromogenic or fluorescent detection systems in standard laboratory protocols.
