Designing an IHC experiment for Nsun2? 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 NSUN2 IHC GuideFacts about RNA cytosine C(5)-methyltransferase NSUN2.
May act downstream of Myc to regulate epidermal cell growth and proliferation. Required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, independently of its methyltransferase activity.
