ZHX2 belongs to the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family and is involved in transcriptional regulation. It forms heterodimers with ZHX3. ZHX2 represses α-fetoprotein (AFP) expression in human hepatoma cells. Rabbit Anti-ZHX2 antibody recognizes bovine, human, and canine ZHX2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human ZHX2
Application
Rabbit Anti-ZHX2 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 5 μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The members of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family are nuclear homodimeric transcriptional repressors that interact with the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) and contain two C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeobox DNA-binding domains. ZHX2 is the member 2 of this gene family. In addition to forming homodimers,this protein heterodimerizes with member 1 of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes family.The members of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family are nuclear homodimeric transcriptional repressors that interact with the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) and contain two C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeobox DNA-binding domains.

Human zinc-fingers and homeoboxes (ZHX) 1, ZHX2 and ZHX3, members of the ZHX family, contain two Cys(2)-His(2)-type zinc-finger motifs and five homeodomains (HDs). These proteins not only form homodimers but heterodimers with ZHX1 as well and act as ubiquitous transcriptional

The zinc-fingers and homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) protein was shown previously to be involved in postnatal repression of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in mice. More recently, loss of ZHX2 expression was often found in human hepatcellular carcinoma (HCC), where AFP is frequently reactivated.
