Anti-Gli-2 Antibody

Gli-2 (also known as Zinc Finger Protein Gli-2, GLI-Kruppel family member GLI-2 or Tax helper protein) belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger protein subclass of the Gli family. Members of this subclass are characterized as transcription factors that bind DNA through zinc finger motifs. These motifs contain conserved H-C links. Gli family zinc finger proteins are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling, and they are implicated as potent oncogenes in the embryonal carcinoma cell. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. Gli-2 is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. The encoded protein is associated with several phenotypes: Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, pre-axial polydactyly type IV, and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B. Anti-Gli 2 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in transcription factor activities, DNA binding, and chromatin binding research.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids from an internal region of Mouse Gli-2.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against mouse Gli-2 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Gli-2 from mouse and rat sources based on 100% sequence homology with the immunogen. Reactivity with Gli-2 from other sources is not known.
