This antibody is useful for Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, and immunoelectron microscopy. For Immunofluorescene fixation with 3% paraformaldehyde or methanol is recommended, and incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature in blocking buffer (0.1% gelatin in TBS/Triton). For Western Blot it is recommended in 5% milk/TBS (+0.1% Tween-20) and incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature.
This antibody reacts with the human and primate protein. Antibody reactivity and working conditions vary between species. Other species have not yet been tested.

Background
The Trans-Golgi network integral membrane protein 2 (TGOLN2) was designated TGN46 based on the predicted molecular mass (46kDa). However, TGN46 is a heavily glycosylated protein, so its molecular weight is often detected at a 110-120kDa.
The TGN46 protein is widely expressed. It may be involved in regulating membrane traffic to and from trans-Golgi network, and has been reported as the best available marker for human trans-Golgi network.
TGN46 contains a luminal domain, a membrane-spanning domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The membrane-spanning and cytoplasmic domains contain the retention and retrieval signals, respectively, for localization in the TGN.
