TROP-2 (TACSTD2) Proteins
TROP-2 (TACSTD2) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on epithelial cells and frequently overexpressed in solid tumors, where it is associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis. Conigen provides soluble recombinant TROP-2 proteins to support antibody binding studies, assay development, and antibody discovery in oncology and translational research.
Example QC data shown. See individual product pages and datasheets for target-specific QC results.

FAQs
What is TROP-2 used for in research?
Recombinant TROP-2 is widely used as a research tool to study cancer biology, cell signaling, and therapeutic targeting as it is overexpressed in many epithelial cancers. Common applications include:
- Antibody and drug development
- Cell signaling and functional studies
- Assay and method development
Is TROP-2 provided as a monomer or dimer?
Our TROP-2 is provided as a dimer and engineered to replicate the native, cell-surface conformation of TROP-2 more closely than the monomeric ectodomain.
In practice, our dimeric TROP-2 provides:
- Higher binding potency
- Improved assay sensitivityÂ
- Wider assay windows
Can TROP-2 proteins be used in binding assays?
Yes, our recombinant TROP-2 has been validated for use in binding assays, including ELISA-based TROP-2-specific antibody binding assays.
How should TROP-2 protein be stored and reconstituted?
TROP-2 is supplied in PBS and is shipped on dry ice. Upon receipt, it should be stored at – 80°C. For optimal stability we recommend aliquoting the protein into smaller volumes before freezing to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
For short term use, the protein may be stored at 4°C for a limited period. For long-term storage, keep the protein at -80°C for up to 12 months. Avoid vigorous mixing; gently invert or pipette to mix if needed.
What tag formats are available for TROP-2?
TROP-2 is available from Conigen in both the human and mouse forms, each supplied with a His-Flag tag.
Â
Additional tags such as Fc, Avi, HA, or Myc or formats such as biotinylation can be provided through custom expression to match your assay or conjugation needs.
Can I request a custom TROP-2 format or tag?
Yes. TROP-2 proteins can be customized through Conigen’s CSP ™ platform. For custom TROP-2 formats (alternate tags, variants, or assay-specific constructs), email [email protected] or submit a request through our Custom Project form.
What is the lead time for ordering TROP-2 proteins?
Lead time varies by format and scale. Catalog TROP-2 can be ordered directly and will ship within 2-3 business days of sales order receipt.Â
Custom TROP-2 and larger orders will follow a defined project workflow, but will generally be shipped 4-6 weeks following request. Contact us for a precise delivery estimate.
