GOLGA2, commonly known as GM130, serves as a critical structural component of the cis-Golgi matrix where it orchestrates vesicle tethering, Golgi ribbon maintenance, and protein trafficking. This peripheral membrane protein has emerged as an important marker in studies of Golgi organization, cell polarity, and secretory pathway dynamics, with growing interest in its altered expression patterns across various disease states including cancer.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human GOLGA2, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research protocols require. As a sequence-defined reagent produced from a single rabbit clone (3B11), it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations, ensuring your results remain comparable across experiments.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates this antibody's versatility in your workflow. Western blot analysis in U-87MG glioblastoma and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lysates reveals robust detection at working dilutions between 1:500 and 1:2000. The observed band at approximately 140 kDa runs higher than the predicted 113 kDa molecular weight, a shift commonly attributed to post-translational modifications including extensive glycosylation characteristic of Golgi-resident proteins. Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human breast cancer and kidney tissue sections confirms reliable performance in archival specimens, while flow cytometry analysis in HepG2 cells demonstrates clear population separation for intracellular detection applications.
Whether investigating Golgi dynamics in cancer cell biology, examining secretory pathway disruption, or characterizing cellular stress responses, this antibody provides a dependable tool for researchers studying membrane trafficking and organelle organization.
