Western blot - Anti-Nkx2.5 antibody [EPR20168] - BSA and Azide free (AB228335)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Nkx2.5 antibody [EPR20168] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab205263 was shown to bind specifically to Nkx2.5. A band was observed at 40, 30, 25 kDa in wild-type HEK-293 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in NKX2-5 knockout cell line ab261899 (knockout cell lysate ab261716). Bands at 37 and 35 kDa are non-specific believed to be NKX2-2 and NKX2-6. To generate this image, wild-type and NKX2-5 knockout HEK-293 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

Nkx2.5 also known as NKX2-5 or CSX is a homeobox-containing transcription factor with a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. It is primarily expressed in the heart specifically in cardiac progenitor cells and also found in low levels in the spleen stomach and pancreas. As a transcription factor Nkx2.5 plays a significant role in regulating the expression of genes critical for cardiac development and differentiation. The protein's expression is tightly regulated during early embryogenesis and maintained in the heart throughout life.
Biological function summary

Nkx2.5 functions to direct the development of cardiac myocytes by regulating genes involved in cell specification and tissue formation. Nkx2.5 does not solely operate but interacts with other cardiac-specific transcription factors such as GATA4 and TBX5 collectively forming a transcriptional complex. This cooperative interaction is essential in orchestrating the genetic program necessary for heart morphogenesis and cellular proliferation within the developing myocardium.

Pathways

The protein Nkx2.5 significantly influences cardiogenesis and heart formation pathways. Its activity is necessary in the Wnt signaling pathway important for the initial stages of cardiac cell lineage differentiation. Additionally Nkx2.5 works in tandem with the protein MEF2C to regulate cardiac-specific genes ensuring the proper development and functioning of cardiac tissues. Both pathways highlight important regulatory networks where Nkx2.5 is an important player in heart development.

Mutations or dysregulations of Nkx2.5 can lead to congenital heart defects such as atrial septal defects and tetralogy of Fallot. These conditions often arise due to disrupted genetic signaling during heart formation. Nkx2.5 mutations have been associated with conduction system defects in conjunction with the GATA4 protein both known to be involved in maintaining normal cardiac structure and function. Understanding Nkx2.5's role in these diseases aides in developing potential therapeutic approaches targeting congenital heart abnormalities.

Target data

Transcription factor required for the development of the heart and the spleen (PubMed : 22560297). During heart development, acts as a transcriptional activator of NPPA/ANF in cooperation with GATA4 (By similarity). May cooperate with TBX2 to negatively modulate expression of NPPA/ANF in the atrioventricular canal (By similarity). Binds to the core DNA motif of NPPA promoter (PubMed : 22849347, PubMed : 26926761). Together with PBX1, required for spleen development through a mechanism that involves CDKN2B repression (PubMed : 22560297). Positively regulates transcription of genes such as COL3A1 and MMP2, resulting in increased pulmonary endothelial fibrosis in response to hypoxia (PubMed : 29899023).
