Scientific Data Images for Human Activin RIIB Antibody

Activin RIIB antibody in Human Placenta by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Activin RIIB in Human Placenta.

Activin RIIB was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human placenta (cross-section of chorionic villi) using 5 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human Activin RIIB Antigen Affinity-purified Poly-clonal Antibody (Catalog # AF339) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Porcine Activin RIIB by Western Blot

Myostatin signaling in longissimus dorsi muscle of low-birth-weight (LBWT) and normal-birth-weight (NBWT) neonatal pigs. (A): Representative western blots from four pairs of LBWT and NBWT pigs (N, NBWT; L, LBWT). (B–G): Protein abundance of myostain, ALK5 and ActRIIB, and protein abundance phosphorylation of smad2/3. Abundance was normalized to alpha -tubulin and phosphorylation normalized to the corresponding non-phospho-proteins. Results are means ± SE. n = 12. Values with different letters differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05).

Applications for Human Activin RIIB Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Blockade of Receptor-ligand Interaction

In a functional ELISA, 1-3 µg/mL of this antibody will block 50% of the binding of 30 ng/mL of Recombinant Biotinylated Human/Mouse/Rat Activin A to immobilized Recombinant Human Activin RIIB Fc Chimera (Catalog # 339-RB) coated at 2 µg/mL (100 µL/well). At 30 μg/mL, this antibody will block >90% of the binding.

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL
Sample: Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human placenta (cross-section of chorionic villi)

Western Blot

0.1 µg/mL
Sample: Recombinant Human Activin RIIB Fc Chimera (Catalog # 339-RB)

Background: Activin RIIB

Activin isoforms and other members of the TGF-beta  superfamily exert their biological effects by binding to heteromeric complexes of a type I and a type II serine‑threonine kinase receptor, both of which are essential for signal transduction. Seven type I and five type II receptors, including the two type I and the two type II activin receptors, designated ActR-I(A), ActR-IB, ActR-II(A) and ActR-IIB, have been cloned from mammals. Through alternative mRNA splicing, multiple ActR-IIB isoforms can also be generated, adding to the complexity of the activin receptor system. Different activin isoforms bind with different high-affinities to the various type II isoforms. Type I activin receptors do not bind directly to activin, but will associate with the type II receptor-activin complex and initiate signal transduction. Besides the activin isoforms, ActR-II will also bind inhibin, BMP-2 and BMP-7 with lower affinities. ActR-I can also bind and form signaling complexes with the BMP‑2/7‑bound BMPR-II. Activin type II receptors are highly conserved. Human, mouse and rat type II activin receptors share greater than 98% amino acid sequence homology. Recombinant soluble activin type II receptors bind activin with high affinity, and are potent activin antagonists.
