General description

Transcription factor SOX-2 (SOX-2) is a member of the SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of cell fate. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bilateral anophthalmia, a severe form of structural eye malformation. When SOX-2 is expressed in self renewing progenitor cells, it acts to inhibit neuronal differentiation. Conversely, active repression of SOX-2 induces neural differentiation.

Specificity

Rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX2 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factors.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 32-47 of human SOX2.

Application

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)
Rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX2 antibody is used to tag solute sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factor for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques, such as immunoblotting (~37 kDa) and flow cytometry. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factor in progenitor cell self renewal and differentiation.

Physical form

solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.02% sodium azide.
