Anti-FOXL2 Antibody

Forkhead box protein L2 (FOXL2) is a fork-head transcription factor that is expressed in developing gonad and in granulosa cells of the mature ovary. It plays a role in repressing the development of testis, and facilitating the differentiation and maintenance of the ovary. Mutations in the FOXL2 gene result in blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus (BPES) syndrome, which is characterized by craniofacial defects and premature ovarian failure. FOXL2 has also been implicated in the development of ovarian granulosa cell tumors.

Other homologies: Chicken (77% sequence homology).

This Anti-FOXL2 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting for the detection of FOXL2.

Evaluated by Western Blot in human pituitary tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected FOXL2 in 10 µg of human pituitary tissue lysate.

~50 kDa observed. An uncharacterized band may appear at ~25 kDa in some lysates. The calculated molecular weight is 39 kDa, however FOXL2 has been shown as a ~50 kDa band in western blots (Marongiu, M., et al. (2010). PLOS One. 5(3):1-9).

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Control
Human pituitary
