Application

Rabbit polyclonal anti-MyEF2 antibody is used to tag myelin expression 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 myelin expression factor 2 in the repression of genes involved in myelinogenesis and hematopoiesis.

Rabbit Anti-MyEF2 can be used for western blot (1 µg/ml) and IHC (4-8 µg/ml) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MEF-2 is expressed early in the differentiation program and is suppressed by specific polypeptide growth factors. The ability of MEF-2 to recognize conserved activating elements associated with multiple-specific genes suggests that this factor may participate in the coordinate regulation of genes during myogenesis.

General description

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a major component of the myelin sheath whose production is developmentally controlled during myelinogenesis. Myelin expression factor 2 (MyEF2), a single-stranded DNA binding factor, is a repressor of myelin basic protein (MBP) expression. MyEF2 interacts with RUNX1 to represses hematopoietic genes in erythroid cells.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-MyEF2 antibody reacts with bovine, canine, human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, and chicken myelin expression factor 2 proteins.
