Other Names | ORAI2 Antibody: CBCIP2, C7orf19, MEM142B, TMEM142B, CBCIP2, PP1729, Protein orai-2, CAP-binding protein complex-interacting protein 2, ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 2 |
Target/Specificity | ORAI2; At least two isoforms of ORAI2 are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms. ORAI antibody is predicted not to cross-react with ORAI1 or ORAI3. |
Reconstitution & Storage | ORAI2 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
Precautions | ORAI2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ORAI2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | C7orf19, CBCIP2, TMEM142B |
Function | Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+)-like (CRAC-like) channel subunit which mediates Ca(2+) influx and increase in Ca(2+)-selective current by synergy with the Ca(2+) sensor, STIM1. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
ORAI2 Antibody: Antigen stimulation of immune cells triggers Ca++ entry through Ca++ release-activated Ca++ (CRAC) channels. ORAI2 is one of two mammalian homologs to ORAI1, a recently identified four-transmembrane spanning protein that is an essential component of CRAC. Like ORAI1, ORAI2 has been shown to function as a highly selective Ca++ plasma membrane channel that is gated through interactions with STIM1, the store-activated endoplasmic reticulum Ca++ sensor, although at a lesser efficacy than ORAI1.
