PLCγ2 (phospholipase C gamma 2) is a signaling enzyme critical for immune receptor pathways, including B cell receptor (BCR) and Fc receptor signaling. The (Ab-753) epitope corresponds to amino acids 751–755 (S-L-Y-D-V) in the autoinhibitory SH2 domain of human PLCγ2 . Unlike phospho-specific antibodies (e.g., anti-pTyr753), this antibody recognizes both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of PLCγ2, making it suitable for total protein quantification .
PLCγ2 is essential for B cell maturation and antibody production. The (Ab-753) antibody has been used to:
Investigate dysregulated PLCγ2 signaling in autoimmune disorders (e.g., PLAID) .
Analyze interactions with adaptor proteins like BLNK and SLP-76 in BCR signaling .
Detect PLCγ2 overexpression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) .
Monitor acquired PLCγ2 mutations (e.g., R665W, L845F) linked to ibrutinib resistance in CLL .
Specificity: Validated using PLCγ2-deficient cell lines to confirm no cross-reactivity .
Sensitivity: Detects endogenous PLCγ2 at 1:500–1:1000 dilution in WB .
Batch Consistency: Quality assessed via peptide competition assays .
B Cell Development: PLCγ2 deficiency blocks transitional B cell maturation, increasing apoptosis .
Therapeutic Resistance: Constitutively active PLCγ2 mutants (e.g., S707Y) drive ibrutinib resistance in CLL .
Neurodegeneration: PLCγ2 variants enhance microglial clearance of protein aggregates (e.g., amyloid-β) .
