A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of PTCH2 antibody, Alternative Names: PTCH2 control peptide, PTCH2 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-PTCH2 Blocking Peptide, Patched Homolog 2 Blocking Peptide, PTCH2, PTCH-2, PTCH 2, PTCH-2 Blocking Peptide, PTCH 2 Blocking Peptide
PTCH2 is a member of the patched protein family. The patched protein is the receptor for sonic hedgehog, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and in tumorigenesis. The gene encoding PTCH2 is shown to be mutated in a medulloblastoma and in a basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that it plays a role in the development of some tumors.
