EMX2 Antibody: Homeobox protein EMX2, Empty spiracles homolog 2
Product description
EMX2 Antibody: 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 HOXA10.1) Bishop KM, Garel S, Nakagawa Y, et al. EMX1 and Emx2 cooperate to regulate cortical size, lamination, neuronal differentiation, development of cortical efferents, and thalamocortical pathfinding. J. Comp. Neurol. 2003; 457:345-60.
Immunogen
EMX2 antibody was raised against an 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human EMX2. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of EMX2.
