Application

Anti-GATA2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige. Anti-GATA2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) blocks the transition from preadipocytes to adipocytes through suppression of PPAR-γ2 expression. GATA2 is also known to direct hematopoiesis and vascular cell activation. Thus, preadipocytes inhibition of GATA2 could allow adipogenesis while reducing their inflammatory properties. It is an inhibitor of adipogenesis and an activator of vascular cells. GATA2 is phosphorylated and blocked by the PI3K/Akt signal transduction pathway, this phosphorylation results in preadipocyte conversion to adipocytes and attenuation of the inflammatory behavior of preadipocytes. The encoded protein is essential for the development of CNS and the differentaition of erythroid cells. Polymorphism in this gene has been associated with Parkinson′s disease.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

General description

GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) is a transcription factor involved in several neuronal specification pathways and expressed in the adipose tissue. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 3q21.3. It encodes a zinc finger protein belonging to the GATA family of proteins.
