General description
Homeobox protein Nkx-6.2 (UniProt Q9C056; also known as Homeobox protein NK-6 homolog B) is encoded by the NKX6-2 (also known as GTX, NKX6B) gene (Gene ID 84504) in human. Mammalian NKX gene products and their orthologs in other species are known to regulators of neuronal cell fate. Both the ventral nervous system defective (vnd) gene product in Drosophila and murine NKX proteins in spinal cord direct progenitors to adopt specific ventral neural identities. In mice, NKX6.2 is expressed in a small subset of ventral neural progenitors in a restricted spatial pattern at the border between the medial and caudal ganglionic eminence (MGE and CGE). NKX6,2 is required for specification of V1 interneurons in the spinal cord and progenitors are found to adopt a more dorsal V0 identity in the absence of NKX6,2. In addition, NKX6.2-positive brain region is shown to give rise to both parvalbumin (PV) and somatostatin (SST) cortical interneurons and in particular be enriched in a subpopulation of SST cortical interneurons that coexpress calretinin (CR).
~29 kDa observed. 29.26 kDa (human) and 29.36 kDa (mouse and rat) calculated. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a C-terminal region sequence of human/mouse/rat NKX6.2.
Application
Anti-NKX6.2, Cat. No. ABN1455, is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody that targets Homeobox protein Nkx-6.2 and has been tested in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) and Western Blotting.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected NKX6.2 in human cerebral cortex and kidney tissue sections.
Western Blotting Analysis: 1 µg/mL from a representative lot detected Myc-DDK-tagged human NKX6.2 in 10 µg of lysate from transfected HEK293T cells.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Biochem/physiol Actions
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detected the exogenously expressed human NKX6.2 in transfected HEK293T cells, while no immunoreactive bands were detected in lysates from untransfected cells. The immunogen sequence lies within the region C-terminal to the Homeobox and is 100% conserved among human, mouse, and rat species.
