General description
NR2C2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group C, member 2) is a protein encoded by the NR2C2 gene in humans and is mapped to chromosome to 3p25. It is a novel member of the nuclear hormone receptor family. It is localized to the hippocampus and the cerebellum in the granule cells. It may also have some role in the transcriptional regulation of neurons. It is found to be highly conserved in rat and human.
Immunogen
Orphan nuclear receptor TR4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Testicular nuclear receptor 4 (TR4) confers protection against oxidative stress and DNA damage, and may be involved in aging. It might have potential as a biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa) metastasis. Its interaction with keto-Mycolic acid (MA) is unique in that a host nuclear receptor binding with a bacterial lipid. It is involved in the final stages of differentiation of human erythroid cells, where it controls the basic and essential biological processes. It activates NF-κB in a genotoxic-stress mediated manner. Inactivation of this gene enhances apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells during chemotherapy.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST70756.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
