Anti-FAIM2 Antibody

Western blot analysis of FAIM2 expression in BV2 (A), U87MG (B), HEK293T (C) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 35 kD; Observed band size: 36 kD)
Immunohistochemical analysis of FAIM2 staining in human liver cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	FAIM2
Synonyms	KIAA0950, LFG, LFG2, NMP35, TMBIM2
Function	Antiapoptotic protein which protects cells uniquely from Fas- induced apoptosis. Regulates Fas-mediated apoptosis in neurons by interfering with caspase-8 activation. May play a role in cerebellar development by affecting cerebellar size, internal granular layer (IGL) thickness, and Purkinje cell (PC) development.
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Membrane raft Postsynaptic cell membrane
Tissue Location	Highly expressed in breast carcinoma tissues. Enhanced expression correlates with the grade of the tumor (grade II/grade III) in primary breast tumors (at protein level). Widely expressed. Expressed at high levels in the brain especially in the hippocampus.
