Activation Protein transcription factor 2 (AP2) is a developmentally regulated transcription factor that recognizes a specific sequence CCCCAGGC or related sequences present in several promoter and enhancer gene regions including the promoters of the AP2 genes themselves. There are three different but highly homologous AP2 isoforms: alpha, beta, and gamma (ERF-1), encoded by three different retinoic acid-responsive genes. Each form of AP2 possesses the DNA binding domain (basic helix-span-helix motif) characteristic of this family of transcription factors. The AP2 proteins are normally expressed in ectodermally derived vertebrate tissues where they are necessary for normal growth and development. The factors have also been implicated in the control of cell proliferation, viral transformation, and oncogenesis. AP2 seems to play in important role in human breast cancer.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence-AP2 alpha antibody(ab11828)
ICC/IF image of ab11828 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab11828, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
