Target data

Function

Involved in the development of several major noradrenergic neuron populations, including the locus coeruleus. Transcription factor which could determine a neurotransmitter phenotype in vertebrates. Enhances second-messenger-mediated activation of the dopamine beta-hydrolase and c-fos promoters, and of several enhancers including cAMP-response element and serum-response element.

Activity summary

PHOX2B also known as Paired-like Homeobox 2B is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in neural development. It is encoded by the PHOX2B gene and has a molecular weight of approximately 31 kDa. This protein is highly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems where it influences the differentiation and function of neural crest-derived cells. PHOX2B is particularly active in the brainstem regions that control vital autonomic functions.

Biological function summary

PHOX2B influences the development of noradrenergic neurons and parasympathetic ganglia. It often functions as part of a transcription factor complex interacting with other proteins to drive the expression of genes required for the autonomic nervous system. The control PHOX2B exerts over neuronal differentiation makes it essential for maintaining the proper functioning of neurons responsible for involuntary bodily processes.

Pathways

PHOX2B is integral to the development and maintenance of the autonomic nervous and respiratory systems. It interacts closely with RET a receptor tyrosine kinase within the neurotrophic signaling pathways that regulate neuronal growth and survival. Additionally the protein plays a role in the endothelin signaling pathway further demonstrating its importance in neurodevelopment.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in PHOX2B have been linked to disorders such as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) and neuroblastoma. CCHS results from mutations in the PHOX2B gene affecting respiratory control. In the context of cancer PHOX2B neuroblastoma pertains to its potential role in tumor formation alongside MYCN amplification which is a common alteration in neuroblastoma. Understanding PHOX2B’s interactions provides insights into its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.

    ab210459 staining PHOX2B in SKNSH cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab210459 at 1/50 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
