Msx-2 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-Msx-2 Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

MSX2 encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family. The encoded protein is a transcriptional repressor whose normal activity may establish a balance between survival and apoptosis of neural crest-derived cells required for proper craniofacial morphogenesis. The encoded protein may also have a role in promoting cell growth under certain conditions and may be an important target for the RAS signaling pathways. Mutations in MSX2 are associated with parietal foramina 1 and craniosynostosis type 2.
