Specificity

ab21990 is raised against the C-terminal region of the Human Otx2 protein. This product is batch tested in Y79 cell lysate, recombinant Otx1 and overexpressed Otx2. All batches should detect endogenous Otx2, overexpressed Otx2 and recombinant or overexpressed Otx1. From Jan 2024, QC testing of replenishment batches of this polyclonal changed. All tested and expected application and reactive species combinations are still covered by our Abcam product promise. However, we no longer test all applications. For more information on a specific batch, please contact our Scientific Support who will be happy to help.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Otx1 and Otx2 also known as orthodenticle homeobox 1 and 2 are homeodomain-containing transcription factors. Otx1 has a molecular mass of approximately 36 kDa and Otx2 about 29 kDa. These proteins are expressed in the developing brain particularly in the forebrain and midbrain regions. In adults their expression continues in regions like the retina and cerebellum. These transcription factors are critical players in neuronal differentiation and brain development.

Biological function summary

Otx1 and Otx2 regulate gene expression during embryonic development. They are part of transcriptional complexes that control the expression of key developmental genes. Their activity influences the formation of neuronal identity and positioning. These proteins help orchestrate the intricate processes needed for proper brain structuring and function serving foundational roles in the early stages of brain formation.

Pathways

Otx1 and Otx2 participate in the Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways. These pathways are essential in regulating developmental processes like cell fate determination and patterning in the developing embryo. Within these pathways Otx1 and Otx2 interact with other proteins such as Gli3 in the Hedgehog pathway which further exemplifies their role in developmental signaling networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysregulation of Otx1 and Otx2 are associated with disorders such as epilepsy and retinopathy. For example abnormal expression of Otx2 can lead to retinal diseases potentially linking it with proteins involved in retinal health like Crx. Similarly disruptions in Otx1 function have been noted in certain epileptic conditions highlighting the importance of these proteins in maintaining neurological health.

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Otx1 + Otx2 antibody (ab21990)

    Otx1 +2 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Y79 whole cell extract, 5μg of Rabbit polyclonal to Otx1 +2 and 50μl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

    The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Y79 whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.

    Proteins were eluted by addition of 40μl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70°C; 10μl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab21990.

    ab21990 staining Otx2 in embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5) mouse eye by Immunohistochemistry (formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections).
    The embryo was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin overnight at room temperature, then paraffin-embedded and sectioned at 4μm. Following deparaffinization and antigen retrieval in a rice steamer in 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), the sections were blocked with 5% normal goat serum for half an hour at room temperature. ab21990 was diluted in PBS at 1/100, and incubated overnight at 4°C. The secondary was goat anti-rabbit Alexa®568, diluted in PBS with 1.5% normal goat serum. The mounting medium contained the nuclear stain DAPI (blue).

    Mouse E6 embryos were sectioned and then fixed in paraformaldehyde. Antigen retrieval was performed using citric acid and the sections permeablized and blocked for 1 hour in serum. Embryos were stained with ab21990 (1/2500) diluted in 10% serum, 1% ovalbumin in PBSTween for 14 hours at 4°C. They were then washed and stained with a goat anti-rabbit biotin conjugated antibody.
