Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron development. OLIG2 is a universal marker of diffuse gliomas including oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, and mixed glioma.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody reacts with chicken, human, and mouse oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 transcription factors.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C-terminal region of Human OLIG2
Application
Rabbit Anti-OLIG2 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody is used to tag oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 in ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and as a diffuse glioma marker protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
OLIG2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. OLIG2 is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. It is associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia due to a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22). OLIG2 might play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.

The role of myelination for axonal conduction is well-established in projection neurons but little is known about its significance in GABAergic interneurons. Myelination is discontinuous along interneuron axons and the mechanisms controlling myelin patterning and segregation of ion channels at
OLIG2 is a recently identified transcription factor involved in the specification of cells in the oligodendroglial lineage. We investigated the expression of OLIG2 by in-situ hybridisation in 21 brain tumours: nine grade II and III oligodendrogliomas, three grade II oligoastrocytomas
OLIG1 and OLIG2 are basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors expressed in the pMN domain of the spinal cord, which sequentially generates motoneurons and oligodendrocytes. In Olig1/2 double-mutant mice, motoneurons are largely eliminated, and oligodendrocyte differentiation is abolished. Lineage tracing data suggest
The V-ATPase proton pump controls acidification of intra and extra-cellular milieu in both physiological and pathological conditions. We previously showed that some V-ATPase subunits are enriched in glioma stem cells and in patients with poor survival. In this study, we
