Other Names | Pancreatic secretory granule membrane major glycoprotein GP2, Pancreatic zymogen granule membrane protein GP-2, ZAP75, GP2 |
Target/Specificity | This GP2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 55-84 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human GP2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | GP2 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GP2 (HGNC:4441) |

Function | Functions as an intestinal M-cell transcytotic receptor specific for type-I-piliated bacteria that participates in the mucosal immune response toward these bacteria. At the apical membrane of M- cells it binds fimH, a protein of the bacteria type I pilus tip. Internalizes bound bacteria, like E.coli and S.typhimurium, from the lumen of the intestine and delivers them, through M-cells, to the underlying organized lymphoid follicles where they are captured by antigen-presenting dendritic cells to elicit a mucosal immune response. |

Secreted Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19218}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19218}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D733}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19218}. Membrane raft {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19218}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19218}. Endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D733}. Note=Secreted, after cleavage, in the pancreatic juice. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in pancreas (at protein level) (PubMed:10760606, PubMed:8666297). Specifically expressed by M (microfold) cells which are atypical epithelial cells of the intestine (at protein level) (PubMed:19907495). |
