Background: PIEZO2

Piezo2 (FAM38B) is a mechanosensitive ion channel which responds to mechanically activated currents in bladder, colon, lung, and dorsal root ganglia. This suggests Piezo2 is important for somatasensory mechanotransduction including touch and pain. Piezo proteins are fairly novel proteins, and whose sequences are not akin to other ion channels or proteins, and are very large in size.

Protocols

View specific protocols for PIEZO2 Antibody - BSA Free (NBP1-78624):


Immunocytochemistry Protocol

Culture cells to appropriate density in 35 mm culture dishes or 6-well plates.
1. Remove culture medium and add 10% formalin to the dish. Fix at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Remove the formalin and add ice cold methanol. Incubate for 5-10 minutes.
3. Remove methanol and add washing solution (i.e. PBS). Be sure to not let the specimen dry out. Wash three times for 10 minutes.
4. To block nonspecific antibody binding incubate in 10% normal goat serum from 1 hour to overnight at room temperature.
5. Add primary antibody at appropriate dilution and incubate at room temperature from 2 hours to overnight at room temperature.
6. Remove primary antibody and replace with washing solution. Wash three times for 10 minutes.
7. Add secondary antibody at appropriate dilution. Incubate for 1 hour at room temperature.
8. Remove antibody and replace with wash solution, then wash for 10 minutes. Add Hoechst 33258 to wash solution at 1:25,0000 and incubate for 10 minutes. Wash a third time for 10 minutes.
9. Cells can be viewed directly after washing. The plates can also be stored in PBS containing Azide covered in Parafilm (TM). Cells can also be cover-slipped using Fluoromount, with appropriate sealing.

Western Blot Protocol

1. Perform SDS-PAGE on samples to be analyzed, loading 40 ug of total protein per lane.
2. Transfer proteins to membrane according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the membrane and transfer apparatus.
3. Stain according to standard Ponceau S procedure (or similar product) to assess transfer success, and mark molecular weight standards where appropriate.
4. Rinse the blot.
5. Block the membrane using standard blocking buffer for at least 1 hour.
6. Wash the membrane in wash buffer three times for 10 minutes each.
7. Dilute primary antibody in blocking buffer and incubate 1 hour at room temperature.
8. Wash the membrane in wash buffer three times for 10 minutes each.
9. Apply the diluted HRP conjugated secondary antibody in blocking buffer (as per manufacturers instructions) and incubate 1 hour at room temperature.
10. Wash the blot in wash buffer three times for 10 minutes each (this step can be repeated as required to reduce background).
11. Apply the detection reagent of choice in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

*Note: Tween-20 can be added to the blocking or antibody dilution buffer at a final concentration of 0.05-0.2%.

FAQs for PIEZO2 Antibody - BSA Free

Showing  1 - 2 of 2 FAQs Showing All
  • Q: I am interested in purchasing the PIEZO 1 and PIEZO 2 antibodies and their blocking peptides from Novus. I have read your data sheets that in WBs the bands seen are approximately 286 kDa and 318 kDa, respectively. I would greatly appreciate if you could show me these WBs on human cells For PIEZO1 and 2 and the effects of the blocking peptides (or point me to publications using your Abs).

    A: We offer a PIEZO1 blocking peptide specific to product NBP1-78446. We unfortunately do not offer a PIEZO2 blocking peptide. Our western blot data for NBP1-78446, NBP1-78624, and NBP1-78538 was performed by an outside collaborator and they have not given permission to us to release their images. That is why we do not have them available on our website. We will fully guarantee all of our products for any listed application or species. We unfortunately do not have any publications for these products either.

  • Q: In my project we need Anti Piezo2 and we find it in your catalogs. PIEZO2 Antibody. I want to know the prediction size of your antibody. The size of the protein is more than 200 kd. but in this photo there there are some sharp band are there the actual bands?

    A: The predicted molecular weights for this protein are based on the multiple transcripts associated with this protein. Please see Ensembl for detailed information. Those expected molecular weights are the following: 318.1, 80.8, 73.8, 62.7 kDa. We see this kind of staining across many of our antibodies for PIEZO2. It would appear that the transcript present is dependent on the tissue type. Based on protein arrays, we do believe that this antibody is specific.
