Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 32 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 32 kDa). HRP conjugated anti-rabit IgG shoud be diluted in 1:50,000 - 1:100,000 as a second antibody.
Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed): 1/1000 (from PubMed:16373695).
IHC-Fr: 1/200 (see Abreview and notes)

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

Jurkat cell lysate

Cellular localization 

Nuclear and cytoplasmic. The NLS contained in the bHLH domain could be masked in the native form and translocation to the nucleus could be mediated by interaction either with class E bHLH partner protein or with NKX2-2.

Relevance 

Olig2 (oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2) is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. It cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. It is an antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development.
