ANTI-EN2

General description

Engrailed homeodomain-containing transcription factors play crucial roles in brain development across many species, including the determination of the hindbrain/midbrain border, cerebellar patterning and aiding in neuronal axon guidance. Engrailed-2 (En-2) gene is expressed across the mesencephalon/metencephalon (mes/met) boundary in the cerebellar primordium. Engrailed-2 is involved in the determination of skeletal muscle physiologic properties. Urinary EN2 is a highly specific and sensitive candidate biomarker of prostate cancer.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-ENS antibody reacts with chicken, zebrafish, human, mouse, and rat engrailed homeobox 2 transcription factors.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C-terminal region of Human EN2

Application

Rabbit Anti-EN2 antibody is suitable for use in western blot (0.5μg/ml) assays.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-ENS antibody is used to tag engrailed homeobox 2 transcription factor for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of engrailed homeobox 2 transcription factor in brain development and skeletal muscle differentiation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Homeobox-containing genes are thought to have a role in controlling development. The human engrailed homologs 1 and 2 encode homeodomain-containing proteins and have been implicated in the control of pattern formation during development of the central nervous system.
