Anti-EGR2 Antibody Picoband®

Early growth response protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EGR2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor with three tandem C2H2-type zinc fingers. Defects in this gene are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1D (CMT1D), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4E (CMT4E), and with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS) . Multiple transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

E.coli-derived human EGR2 recombinant protein (Position: M1-R257) . Human EGR2 shares 90.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat EGR2.
