Designing an IHC experiment for Mast2? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the MAST2 IHC GuideFacts about Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase 2.
Functions in a multi-protein complicated in spermatid maturation. Regulates lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-12 synthesis in macrophages by forming a complex with TRAF6, resulting in the inhibition of TRAF6 NF-kappa-B activation.

Detected in round spermatids and residual bodies but not epididymal spermatozoa (at protein level). Expressed in adult but not fetal testis with levels increasing in parallel with testicular development. Also expressed at high levels in heart, lower levels in all other tissues tested.
