Zielbeschreibung

Homeobox protein OTX2 (UniProt: P32243; also known as Orthodenticle homolog 2) is encoded by the OTX2 gene (Gene ID: 5015) in human. Homeobox protein OTX2 belongs to the bicoid sub-family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors. It features a highly conserved 60-amino acid homeodomain that binds DNA and influences gene regulation. This domain is crucial for its role as a transcription factor, enabling specific interactions with DNA sequences to modulate the expression of target genes. OTX2 is essential for the development of the brain, eyes, and other sensory organs. It plays a critical role in the early stages of development, particularly in neurogenesis and the specification of structures in the forebrain and midbrain. OTX2 also has roles in retinal development and the maintenance of retinal photoreceptor cells. OTX2 is predominantly expressed during embryonic development, with high levels in the developing brain, eyes, and other parts of the central nervous system. Its expression is tightly regulated, as appropriate levels are crucial for normal development. In adults, its expression is generally low but can be detected in specific areas, such as the retina and certain brain regions. Mutations or dysregulation of OTX2 have been associated with several developmental disorders. Notably, it is linked to ocular disorders such as anophthalmia and microphthalmia, where the eyes are absent or severely underdeveloped. OTX2 is also implicated in cases of syndromic and non-syndromic retinal dystrophies. Beyond the eye, alterations in OTX2 expression or function can contribute to neurological conditions, reflecting its pivotal role in brain development.

Physikalische Form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Rekonstituierung

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Lagerung und Haltbarkeit

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
