Anti-NMT2 Antibody

NMT2 (N-myristoyltransferase 2) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the covalent attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of substrate proteins, shaping membrane binding, subcellular trafficking, and turnover of proteins involved in signal transduction, apoptosis regulation, and viral assembly. The polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit and supplied unconjugated at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, packaged as a 100 µl vial.

Validated applications include western blot detection of NMT2 in human, mouse, and rat cell lysates, immunohistochemistry on paraffin or frozen tissue sections, and immunofluorescence staining for subcellular localization studies. Listed reactivity covers human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting cross-species work in cell biology, host-pathogen interaction models, and metabolic research.

For routine handling, store the vial at -20 °C and divide into small aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles; protect from light and avoid repeated exposure to ambient temperature. Before immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence staining, titrate the antibody against a control tissue expressing known levels of NMT2 to determine the optimal working dilution. This reagent is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
