Anti-RPS2 Antibody

RPS2 encodes the 40S ribosomal protein S2, a universally expressed component of the small ribosomal subunit that is required for ribosome assembly and cytoplasmic protein translation. This rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com is raised against the human RPS2 target and recognizes an epitope conserved across human, mouse, and rat orthologs, supporting cross-species expression studies in cell lysates and tissue sections. Supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated antiserum, the antibody is suitable for western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows, and can be paired with HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary reagents for chemiluminescent or immunofluorescence detection. Aliquot upon arrival and store at -20 °C to preserve activity across multiple freeze-thaw cycles, with short-term storage at 4 °C acceptable for working dilutions. Researchers commonly apply anti-RPS2 antibodies as a loading control alongside ribosomal- or translation-related targets, in studies of Diamond-Blackfan anemia and ribosomal biogenesis, and when probing translation-factor regulation in cancer cell lines.
