MAML2 (Mastermind Like Transcriptional Coactivator 2) (MAML2/1302), CF647 conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

MAML2 (mastermind-like protein 2), also known as MAM2, MAM3 or MLLMAML2, is a nuclear speckle protein that acts as a transcriptional co-activator for Notch receptors. The Notch signaling pathway influences cell fate by regulating the ability of precursor cells to properly respond to developmental signals. MAML2 is a member of the mastermind-like family of proteins that are human homologs of the Drosophila melanogaster mastermind protein. Through its N-terminal region, MAML2 interacts with the ankyrin repeats of the Notch proteins Notch 1, Notch 2, Notch 3 and Notch 4. This interaction leads to formation of a DNA-binding complex with the Notch proteins and RBP-J, a complex that can then induce HES1 gene expression. While the N-terminal domain of MAML2 is essential for proper Notch binding, the C-terminal domain of MAML2 is essential for transcriptional activation. A chromosomal aberration involving the gene encoding MAML2 is implicated in mucoepidermoid carcinomas, clear cell hidradenomas and benign Warthin tumors.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
