Anti-MEOX2 Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of non-clustered, diverged, antennapedia-like homeobox-containing genes. The encoded protein may play a role in the regulation of vertebrate limb myogenesis. Mutations in the related mouse protein may be associated with craniofacial and/or skeletal abnormalities, in addition to neurovascular dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human MEOX2. Human MEOX2 shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat MEOX2.
