IREB2 is an iron-responsive protein that regulates a cell’s levels of iron, a key micronutrient. In low-iron situations, IREB2 is free to bind to iron-responsive elements in mRNA molecules, stabilizing transferrin mRNA to increase expression of the iron uptake receptor, while blocking the translation of ferritin mRNA, a protein which sequesters excess iron molecules. However, when sufficient iron levels are present, IREB2 undergoes a conformation change to lose its mRNA binding ability, resulting in the degradation of transferrin mRNA while releasing the translation block of ferritin. Variants in the gene encoding IRP2 have been associated with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunoprecipitation, the suggested use of this reagent is 2.0 µg/test. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
