COUP transcription factor 2/nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2 (COUP-TFII, NR2F2) is a nuclear receptor that regulates amygdale patterning via expression of neurophilin.COUP-TFII is a component of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling cascade that stimulates neonatal beta-cell number. COUP-TFII is required for GLP-1 activation of the beta-catenin-dependent pathway.
Synonyms: Anti-Nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-NR2F2 (AB1) polyclonal antibody is used to tag COUP transcription factor 2/nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of COUP transcription factor 2 in cell signaling pathways such as the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling cascade.
Biochem Physiol Actions: NR2F2, an orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, acts as a transcriptional repressor by antagonizing the functions of other nuclear hormone receptors and by actively silencing transcription. However, in certain contexts, NR2F2 stimulates transcription directly. NR2F2, MyoD and p300 interact in a competitive manner, and that increasing amounts of NR2F2 have the ability to reduce the interaction between myoD and p300 invitro. NR2F2 post-transcriptionally regulates myoD activity/function, and that crosstalk between orphan nuclear receptors and the myogenic bHLH proteins has functional consequences for differentiation.
