TGN46 Antibody [DyLight 405]

TGN46 (TGOLN2/trans-Golgi network protein 2) is a single-pass type I membrane protein localized in cell membrane as well as in trans-Golgi network (TGN) membrane, an important protein sorting station inside cells. It shuttles between TGN and cell surface returning via endosomes. TGN46-vesicle formation requires protein kinase D, a kinase needed for secretory carrier formation in cells. TGOLN2 gene has several alternatively spliced transcripts, of which isoform TGN46 is widely expressed whereas another isoform TGN51 is more abundant in fetal lung and kidney. TGN46 is a heavily glycosylated protein with largely unknown functions, however, it has been suspected to be involved in regulating membrane traffic to and from the TGN. TGN46 contains a signal peptide, lumenal domain, membrane-spanning domain, and cytoplasmic domain. Because the membrane spanning region and cytoplasmic tail contain the retention and retrieval signals, respectively, for localization in the TGN, TGN46 is considered a molecular marker for TGN. Recent expression studies have shown a connection between TGOLN2 and suicidal behavior wherein TGN46 was found to be up-regulated in suicide completers as compared to controls.
