Anti-OLIG2

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Rabbit Anti-OLIG2 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody is used to tag oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 in ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and as a diffuse glioma marker protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

OLIG2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. OLIG2 is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. It is associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia due to a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22). OLIG2 might play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.

General description

Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron development. OLIG2 is a universal marker of diffuse gliomas including oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, and mixed glioma.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody reacts with chicken, human, and mouse oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 transcription factors.
