Overview
Catalog # bsm-70669M
Product Name Sox2 Antibody
Applications WB, ICC
Specificity This antibody antibody detects a 34 kDa* protein on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse F9 stem cells, and detects a full length recombinant human Sox2 protein.
Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat, Chicken, Xenopus
Specifications
Conjugation Unconjugated
Host Mouse
Source Clone M551 was generated from a recombinant protein corresponding to the full length sequence from human Sox2. This sequence is highly conserved in rat and mouse Sox2.
Clonality Monoclonal
Clone # M551
Isotype IgG2b
Purification Purified by Protein G.
Storage Buffer PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol
Storage Condition Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Target
Swiss Prot P48431
Synonyms SRY (sex determining region Y) box-2, ANOP3, MCOPS3, SOX-2
Background Embryonic stem cells can maintain a pluripotent state that is controlled by a set of transcription factors that include Oct-4, Sox2, and Nanog. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments show that Sox2 and Oct-4 bind to thousands of gene regulatory sites, many of which regulate cell pluripotency and early embryonic development. siRNA knockdown of either Sox2 or Oct-4 results in loss of pluripotency, while overexpression of Oct-4 and Sox2, along with additional transcription factors Klf4 and c-Myc, can reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state. Sox2 also regulates adult multipotent progenitors in various epithelial tissues, and may be important for survival and regeneration of these tissues. The activity of Sox2 may be regulated by phosphorylation and methylation. Akt1 phosphorylates Thr-118 and enhances Sox2 transcriptional activity, while Set7 can monomethylate Lys-119 leading to inhibition of Sox2 transcriptional activity, as well as Sox2 ubiquination and degradation. In addition, Sox2 Thr-128 is constituitively phoshorylated in the F9 mouse stem cell line.
