AGR2 is a disulfide isomerase that catalyzes protein folding and thiol-disulfide exchange reactions in the ER lumen. It can also serve as a chaperone for secretory proteins, and is essential for maturation of cysteine-rich transmembrane receptors, including the intestinal glycoprotein mucin. In addition to its role in ER homeostasis, AGR2 can also exert pro-oncogenic function. In many tumors, AGR2 is overexpressed and secreted into the tumor microenvironment, where it disrupts epithelial cell to cell adhesion, promotes invasive structures, and mediates loss of cell polarity. AGR2 is highly upregulated in tamoxifen-treated cells and plays a crucial role in mediating resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

ICC, IP - Verified - Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.1 - 2.0 µg/mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 μg/mL is recommended. For immunoprecipitation, the suggested use of this reagent is 2.5 µg/test. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
This clone was tested for ICC on A549 cells fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with either Triton X-100 or methanol. While both methods were compatible with AGR2 staining, a significantly stronger signal was attained with Triton X-100 permeabilization.
AGR2 staining was highly variable in A549 cells, with many cells lacking any detectable signal. This result was consistent with internal data generated with an anti-AGR2 control antibody. - RRID
