SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. BAT2 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: sc-72612-V

BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS BAT2, also known as G2, is a 2,157 amino acid that localizes to both BAT2 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles is recommended for the inhibition of the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Expressed in cell lines of leukemic origin, BAT2 expression in human cells. BAT2 exists as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms and is thought to play a role in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing. The BAT2 maps within a SUPPORT REAGENTS cluster of BAT on human 6 and is implicated in the devel- Control shRNA Lentiviral Particles: sc-108080.

GENE EXPRESSION MONITORING Additionally, Porphyria cutanea tarda, Parkinson’s disease, Stickler syndrome and a susceptibility to bipolar disorder are all associated with genes that map BAT2 (A-10): sc-373747 is recommended as a control antibody for monitoring to chromosome 6. of BAT2 gene expression knockdown by Western Blotting (starting dilution 1:200, dilution range 1:100-1:1000) or immunofluorescence (starting dilution REFERENCES 1:50, dilution range 1:50-1:500). 1.
