Description
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the center of human EMX2.
- other_names:
- Empty spiracles homolog 2, EMX-2, Empty spiracles-like protein
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- Specificity:
- At least two isoforms of EMX2 are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms. EMX2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with EMX1
- Background:
- EMX2, like its closely related homolog EMX1, is a homeobox transcription factor involved in specifying cell fates in the developing central nervous system and participates in the development of olfactory neurons. EMX2 is expressed in the dorsal telencephalon during development in a low rostral-lateral to high caudal-medial gradient and is proposed to pattern the neocortex into defined functional areas. It is also expressed in embryonic and adult olfactory neuroepithelia where it complexes with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and possibly regulates mRNA transport or translation. In the developing urogenital system, it is expressed in epithelial tissues and is negatively regulated by HOXA10.
