Background:

AGR2 (Anterior Gradient Protein 2), also known as AG2, GOB-4 or HAG-2, is a member of the anterior gradient homolog family. It is the human ortholog of XAG-2, the secreted Xenopus laevis Anterior Gradient protein. In X. laevis, it is involved in cement gland differentiation and neural marker gene expression. AGR2 is a secretory protein encoded by two different AGR2 transcripts. It interacts with LYPD3 and å-dystroglycan (DAG-1). AGR2 is ubiquitously expressed with up-regulated expression in prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, renal carcinomas and endometrial carcinomas. AGR2 expression is positively correlated with that of the estrogen receptor (ER) and is negatively correlated with that of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). AGR2 may serve as a potential therapeutic marker for various cancers.

Specificity:

AGR2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of AGR2 protein.
