Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Specificity
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.
Purification
ORAI2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
ORAI2 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human ORAI2. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of ORAI2.

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.
