Western blot - Anti-Brn-2 antibody [RP23040248] (AB308102)

Knockdown of Brn-2 was achieved by transfecting A-375 cells with Brn-2 specific siRNA. Western blot analysis was performed using modified whole cell extracts (1% SDS) from the A-375 knockdown cells (Lane 3), non-specific scrambled siRNA transfected cells (Lane 2) and untransfected cells (Lane 1). The blots were probed with ab308102 at 1/200 dilution and a Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate at 1/4,000 dilution. Loss of signal upon siRNA mediated knock down confirms that antibody is specific to POU3F2.

Western blot analysis was performed on modified whole cell extracts (1%SDS) (30 µg lysate) of U-87 MG (Lane 1) and tissue extracts of Mouse pup brain (Lane 2) and Mouse brain (Lane 3). The blots were probed with ab308102 at 1/200 dilution and detected by chemiluminescence using a Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate at 1/4000 dilution. A ~54 kDa band corresponding to POU3F2 was observed across the cell lines and tissues tested.

Product details

What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:

  • - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

Supplementary information

Brn-2 also known as POU domain class 3 transcription factor 2 (POU3F2) is a transcription factor with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa. This protein plays a significant role in the development and function of the central nervous system. It is abundantly expressed in neuronal tissues and specific types of melanocytes. Brn-2 belongs to the POU domain family of proteins which are pivotal in regulating gene expression during development.
Biological function summary

Brn-2 regulates the expression of genes critical for neural differentiation and development. It acts as a transcriptional activator that binds to specific DNA sequences. Brn-2 does not act alone; it often participates in regulatory complexes with other transcription factors. Through these interactions Brn-2 influences the fate of neural progenitor cells and is involved in the regulation of neural stem cell maintenance.

Pathways

Brn-2 plays a role in the Wnt signaling pathway and the Notch signaling pathway. Both of these pathways are integral to cell fate determination during development. In the Wnt pathway Brn-2 may interact with proteins such as β-catenin which modulates the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Additionally Brn-2's role in the Notch pathway can influence the activity of proteins like RBPJ impacting cell communication and developmental processes.

Brn-2 has been linked to melanoma and gliomas. In melanoma Brn-2 can interact with other proteins such as MITF influencing melanocyte development and contributing to cancer progression. In glioma Brn-2's aberrant expression might affect cellular pathways that lead to uncontrolled proliferation and tumor formation. Understanding these connections provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.

Target data

Transcription factor that plays a key role in neuronal differentiation (By similarity). Binds preferentially to the recognition sequence which consists of two distinct half-sites, ('GCAT') and ('TAAT'), separated by a non-conserved spacer region of 0, 2, or 3 nucleotides (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional activator when binding cooperatively with SOX4, SOX11, or SOX12 to gene promoters (By similarity). The combination of three transcription factors, ASCL1, POU3F2/BRN2 and MYT1L, is sufficient to reprogram fibroblasts and other somatic cells into induced neuronal (iN) cells in vitro (By similarity). Acts downstream of ASCL1, accessing chromatin that has been opened by ASCL1, and promotes transcription of neuronal genes (By similarity).
