Product description
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are transcription factors involved in determining cell type during development. NeuroG1 is a bHLH protein with dual cell-fate specification roles. It functions during neurogenesis, and it has also been shown to inhibit the differentiation of neural stem cells into astrocytes. NeuroG1 promotes neurogenesis by functioning as a transcriptional activator, yet it inhibits astrocyte differentiation by compartmentalizing the CREB-binding protein transcription complex away from astrocyte differentiation genes and by inhibiting STAT transcription factors essential for gliogenesis.1) Tamimi, R.M., et al., Genomics 40(2):355-357 (1997).
Immunogen
This Neurogenin1 (NeuroG1) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 31-60 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Neurogenin1 (NeuroG1).
Antibody is used in Western blot to detect NeuroG1 in A375 cell lysate.
Application
Western Blot at 1:1000 dilution + HepG2 whole cell lysate Lysates/proteins at 20 ug per lane.
Application Notes
For WB starting dilution is: 1:1000:
