APLP2 Recombinant antibody, PBS Only

Amyloid precursor-like protein-2 (APLP2) is a member of the APP (amyloid precursor protein) family including APP, APLP1, and APLP2. APLP2 is ubiquitously expressed. It contains heparin-, copper- and zinc- binding domains at the N-terminus, BPTI/Kunitz inhibitor and E2 domains in the middle region, and transmembrane and intracellular domains at the C-terminus. APLP2 has been shown to regulate multiple cellular functions such as neurite outgrowth, axogenesis, corneal epithelial wound healing, cell adhesion, migration, and mitosis. The synergy of this protein and the APP is required to mediate neuromuscular transmission, spatial learning and synaptic plasticity. APLP2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
