Target/Specificity | This ITM2B antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 218-247 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ITM2B. |
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 | ITM2B Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ITM2B |

Synonyms | BRI, BRI2 |
Function | Plays a regulatory role in the processing of the amyloid-beta A4 precursor protein (APP) and acts as an inhibitor of the amyloid-beta peptide aggregation and fibrils deposition. Plays a role in the induction of neurite outgrowth. Functions as a protease inhibitor by blocking access of secretases to APP cleavage sites. Bri23 peptide prevents aggregation of APP amyloid-beta protein 42 into toxic oligomers. |
Cellular Location | [Integral membrane protein 2B]: Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Note=Immature BRI2 (imBRI2) is cleaved by furin in the Golgi into mBRI2 and a Bri23 peptide. mBRI2 is transported to the plasma membrane and Bri23 peptide is secreted [Bri23 peptide]: Secreted. Note=Detected in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. Expressed in brain. |

Background
Amyloid precursor proteins are processed by beta-secretase and gamma-secretase to produce beta-amyloid peptides which form the characteristic plaques of Alzheimer disease. This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is processed at the C-terminus by furin or furin-like proteases to produce a small secreted peptide which inhibits the deposition of beta-amyloid. Mutations which result in extension of the C-terminal end of the encoded protein, thereby increasing the size of the secreted peptide, are associated with two neurogenerative diseases, familial British dementia and familial Danish dementia.
