Immunohistochemical staining of RHOT2 using anti-RHOT2 antibody. RHOT2 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human prostate cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 ug/ml rabbit anti-RHOT2 antibody overnight at 4oC. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The tissue section was developed using an HRP secondary and DAB substrate.
Western blot analysis of RHOT2 using anti-RHOT2 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. Lane 1: human 293T whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human MCF-7 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human SH-SY5Y whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human K562 whole cell lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-RHOT2 antibody at 0.5 ug/ml overnight at 4oC, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal was developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate. RHOT2 (MIRO2) was detected at 75-80 kDa, consistent with the phosphorylated and post-translationally modified forms described in peer-reviewed studies. The upward shift from the ~68 kDa predicted size likely reflects PINK1-dependent phosphorylation and related mitochondrial quality-control modifications.

Description

The RHOT2 antibody targets Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2, a small GTP-binding protein encoded by the RHOT2 gene. Also known as Miro2, this protein is anchored to the outer mitochondrial membrane and regulates mitochondrial trafficking, dynamics, and calcium signaling. Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 interacts with adaptors such as TRAK1 and kinesin motor proteins to mediate mitochondrial transport along microtubules. The RHOT2 antibody enables detailed analysis of mitochondrial movement, morphology, and positioning within cells under physiological and pathological conditions.

Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 is part of the Miro family, which also includes RHOT1 (Miro1). Both proteins contain two GTPase domains and two calcium-binding EF-hand motifs that sense cytosolic calcium levels to control organelle motility. Under elevated calcium conditions, RHOT2 disengages mitochondria from microtubule motors, halting transport and localizing organelles near energy-demanding sites. The RHOT2 antibody is essential for studying these regulatory events and mapping mitochondrial dynamics during cell stress, differentiation, and neuronal signaling.

Defects in RHOT2-mediated transport are linked to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Impaired mitochondrial motility can disrupt energy distribution, leading to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. The RHOT2 antibody provides a means to measure protein expression in neuronal tissues and to investigate molecular mechanisms that couple mitochondrial movement with cellular signaling pathways. By examining Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 expression, researchers gain insight into how mitochondrial positioning influences metabolism and neuroprotection.

In addition to its transport role, Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 contributes to mitochondrial quality control and mitophagy. It interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin and participates in PINK1-Parkin-mediated degradation of damaged mitochondria. The RHOT2 antibody allows visualization of these processes in cellular models of mitochondrial dysfunction, facilitating research into the molecular pathology of Parkinsonian syndromes and mitochondrial diseases. Furthermore, altered RHOT2 expression has been associated with metabolic stress and cancer cell survival, underscoring its broader physiological importance.

The RHOT2 antibody is suitable for use in western blotting, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. It produces a distinct mitochondrial staining pattern, enabling analysis of organelle distribution and morphology. NSJ Bioreagents provides the RHOT2 antibody as a validated and high-performance reagent for mitochondrial research. By offering reliable detection of Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2, this antibody advances studies of organelle transport, cellular bioenergetics, and mitochondrial homeostasis in health and disease.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the RHOT2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
