Anti-NR2F6 Purified Monoclonal Antibody

NR2F6 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 6), also known as EAR2 or ERBAL2, is a transcription factor involved in modulation of hormonal responses. NR2F6 represses e.g. transcription of the oxytocin-neurophysin gene, renin gene, lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor gene, and the thyroid hormone receptor gene. In the immune system, NR2F6 affects IL-17 expression in the Th-17 cells, thus also the balance between immunological tolerance and autoimmunity.

Recombinant human NR2F6 protein expressed in E. coli. The mouse monoclonal antibody EM-51 recognizes NR2F6, a transcriptional repressor (intracellular antigen) expressed mainly in the heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas, but also e.g. in T cell subpopulations.

Transcription factor predominantly involved in transcriptional repression. Binds to promoter/enhancer response elements that contain the imperfect 5'-AGGTCA-3' direct or inverted repeats with various spacings which are also recognized by other nuclear hormone receptors. Involved in modulation of hormonal responses. Represses transcriptional activity of the lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor/LHCGR gene, the renin/REN gene and the oxytocin-neurophysin/OXT gene. Represses the triiodothyronine-dependent and -independent transcriptional activity of the thyroid hormone receptor gene in a cell type- specific manner. The corepressing function towards thyroid hormone receptor beta/THRB involves at least in part the inhibition of THRB binding to triiodothyronine response elements (TREs) by NR2F6. Inhibits NFATC transcription factor DNA binding and subsequently its transcriptional activity. Acts as transcriptional repressor of IL-17 expression in Th-17 differentiated CD4 (+) T cells and may be involved in induction and/or maintenance of peripheral immunological tolerance and autoimmunity. Involved in development of forebrain circadian clock; is required early in the development of the locus coeruleus (LC) .
