General description

COUP transcription factor 2 (UniProt P43135; also known as Apolipoprotein AI regulatory protein 1, Apolipoprotein regulatory protein 1, ARP-1, COUP-TF II, COUP transcription factor II, Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2) is encoded by the Nr2f2 (also known as Aporp1, Arp-1, Arp1, Tfcoup2) gene (Gene ID 11819) in murine species. COUP transcription factors1&2 (COUP-TFI & COUP-TFII) are two related nuclear orphan receptors implicated in their roles in guiding migrating neurons towards their target regions during brain development. COUP-TFI and COUP-TFII are expressed in distinct and non-overlapping migrating cells in specific pathways in the basal telencephalon of mouse embryos at a stage when interneuron migration is robust. While COUP-TFI appears to control dorsal and ventral migration in the basal telencephalon, COUP-TFII is more specific in modulating tangential migration into the intermediate zone of the cortex. Coup-TFII is also identified as an activator of Prox1 expression in venous lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) progenitors during early stages of LEC specification and differentiation.

Specificity

Reacts with COUP-TF2, but not COUP-TF1.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminal half
GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the the N-terminal half of mouse COUP-TF2.

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected COUP-TF2 in mouse cerebral cortex.
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:500-1000 dilution of a representative lot detected COUP-TF2 immunoreactivity in the developing brain using paraformaldehyde-fixed cryosections from wild-type mouse E13.5 embryos, but not from embryos with conditional brain region COUP-TF2-knockout, by fluorescent immunohistochemistry (Courtesy of Dr. Michele Studer, Institut de Biologie Valrose, France).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected a different COUP-TF2 expression pattern than that of COUP-TF1 in the developing telencephalon of forebrain using cryosections from E13.5 mouse embryos (Tripodi, M., et al. (2004). Development. 131(24):6119-6129).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected COUP-TF2I immunoreactivity in reelin-positive Cajal-Retzius cells, but not in calbindin-positive GABAergic interneurons in the developing cortex by dual fluorescent immunohistochemistry using cryosections from E13.5 and E15.5 mouse embryos (Tripodi, M., et al. (2004). Development. 131(24):6119-6129).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot detected COUP-TF2 occupancy at the conserved COUP-TFII binding motif in the regulatory region of Prox1 using chromatin preparations from human lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) (Srinivasan, R.S., et al. (2010). Genes Dev. 24(7):696-707).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected COUP-TF2 expression in HEK293T and NIH3T3 cells (Srinivasan, R.S., et al. (2010). Genes Dev. 24(7):696-707).
