Shanahan, Ian HoltWestern blot for nesprin-2 in human tissues and cell lines using antibody against the C-terminal region of nesprin-2 (MANNES2A 11A3). Bands of approximate size of nesprin-2-epsilon-1 (122 kD) were detected in Ntera-2 and ESC and bands the size of nesprin-2-epsilon-2 (103 kD) were detected in brain and heart. Nesprin-2-alpha-1 was observed in skeletal muscle, but epsilon isoforms were not detected. Absence of mRNA (see Table S4 in File S1), indicates that putative nesprin-2-gamma (377 kD) and nesprin-2-alpha-2 (47 kD) bands on the skeletal muscle western blot, are likely to be degradation products.
