Amino acids 25-106 of mouse Nucleobindin 2 were used as the immunogen for the Nucb2 antibody.
Nucleobindin-2 is a calcium-binding EF-hand protein that in humans is encoded by the NUCB2 gene. By exon trapping and sequence analysis, the NUCB2 sequence has been identified on chromosome 11p15-p14. This gene encodes a protein with a suggested role in calcium level maintenance, eating regulation in the hypothalamus, and release of tumor necrosis factor from vascular endothelial cells.
