Other Names | Integral membrane protein 2B, Immature BRI2, imBRI2, Protein E25B, Transmembrane protein BRI, Bri, BRI2, membrane form, Mature BRI2, mBRI2, BRI2 intracellular domain, BRI2 ICD, BRI2C, soluble form, Bri23 peptide, Bri2-23, ABri23, C-terminal peptide, P23 peptide, ITM2B, BRI, BRI2 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13163b was selected from the C-term region of ITM2B. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. 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-secretaseand gamma-secretase to produce beta-amyloid peptides which form thecharacteristic plaques of Alzheimer disease. This gene encodes atransmembrane protein which is processed at the C-terminus by furinor furin-like proteases to produce a small secreted peptide whichinhibits the deposition of beta-amyloid. Mutations which result inextension of the C-terminal end of the encoded protein, therebyincreasing the size of the secreted peptide, are associated withtwo neurogenerative diseases, familial British dementia andfamilial Danish dementia.
