Olig-1 is a bHLH transcription factor that is expressed by oligodendrocytes in the brain where it promotes oligodendrocyte formation and maturation. Olig1 cooperates with Olig2 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube.
Specificity
Oligodendrocyte marker Olig1. The antibody typically stains cell in either the cytoplasm or nucleus depending on cell type. Staining will be present in the nucleus of remyelinating oligodendrocytes.
Immunogen
Fusion protein from mouse Olig1.
Application
Anti-Olig1 Antibody is an antibody against Olig1 for use in WB, IC, IH.

Despite benefits of prenatal in utero repair of myelomeningocele, a severe type of spina bifida aperta, many of these patients will still suffer mild to severe impairment. One potential source of stem cells for new regenerative medicine-based therapeutic approaches for
The causal link between Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and microcephaly has raised alarm worldwide. Microglial hyperplasia, reactive gliosis, and myelination delay have been reported in ZIKV-infected microcephalic fetuses. However, whether and how ZIKV infection affects glial cell development remain unclear.

The differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) is important for remyelination in the central nervous system. Nevertheless, this process is often limited and incomplete in ischemic injury. Oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1 (Olig1) is important for the maturation of OPCs and

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal degeneration that affects both the white and gray matter of CNS. Recent large-scale epidemiological and genomic studies identified several genetic and environmental risk
