General description
MSH homeobox 2 (MSX2) is a transcriptional regulator which belongs to the MSX homeobox gene family. The gene encoding the protein is located on chromosome 5.
Immunogen

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MSH homeobox 2 (MSX2) is involved in skull (craniofacial) development. Enhanced levels of transcripts for MSX2 are present in a variety of carcinoma cell lines of epithelial origin compared to their corresponding normal tissues. However, this enhanced expression is not found in hematopoietic tumor cells, showing that it plays a more important role in tumors of epithelial origin than in those of hematopoietic origin. MSX2 is an important downstream target for the Ras signaling pathway. Also, it activates cyclin D1 expression and inhibits cellular differentiation suggesting that it is associated with tumorigenesis, since cyclin D1 overexpression is found in various carcinomas like breast and pancreatic cancer. Msx2 is a key regulator of programmed cell death in the BMP-mediated pathway, where bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) functions as an inducer of its expression and function.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Maternal-embryonic crosstalk between the endometrium and the preimplantation embryo is required for normal pregnancy. Our previous results demonstrated that maternal microRNAs secreted into the endometrial fluid, specifically miR-30d, act as a transcriptomic regulator of the preimplantation embryo by the maternal

Accelerated atherosclerotic calcification is responsible for plaque burden, especially in diabetes. The regulatory mechanism for atherosclerotic calcification in diabetes is poorly characterized. Here we show that deletion of PARP-1, a main enzyme in diverse metabolic complications, attenuates diabetic atherosclerotic calcification
