Other Names | Protein lifeguard 2, Fas apoptotic inhibitory molecule 2, Neural membrane protein 35, Transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif-containing protein 2, FAIM2, KIAA0950, LFG, LFG2, NMP35, TMBIM2 |
Target/Specificity | This FAIM2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 76-105 amino acids from the Central region of human FAIM2. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | FAIM2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | FAIM2 |

Synonyms | KIAA0950, LFG, LFG2, NMP35, TMBIM2 |
Function | Antiapoptotic protein which protects cells uniquely from Fas- induced apoptosis. Regulates Fas-mediated apoptosis in neurons by interfering with caspase-8 activation. May play a role in cerebellar development by affecting cerebellar size, internal granular layer (IGL) thickness, and Purkinje cell (PC) development. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Membrane raft Postsynaptic cell membrane |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in breast carcinoma tissues. Enhanced expression correlates with the grade of the tumor (grade II/grade III) in primary breast tumors (at protein level). Widely expressed. Expressed at high levels in the brain especially in the hippocampus. |
