Anti-NKX2-2 Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene contains a homeobox domain and may be involved in the morphogenesis of the central nervous system. This gene is found on chromosome 20 near NKX2-4, and these two genes appear to be duplicated on chromosome 14 in the form of TITF1 and NKX2-8. The encoded protein is likely to be a nuclear transcription factor.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human NKX2-2. Human NKX2-2 shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse NKX2-2.
