Application: Anti-FOXC2 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for microarray and western blotting at a concentration of 1-2mug/mL using total extracts of NIH3T3-L1 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions: Forkhead box protein C2 (FOXC2) is a protein encoded by the FOXC2 gene in humans. It is a member of the fork head box (FOX) family of transcription factors and acts as a positive transactivator. FOXC2 is expressed in somitic mesoderm, the endocardium and blood vessels as well as the condensing mesenchyme of the bones and kidney and in head mesenchyme. It induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is an important step in Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) invasion and metastasis. FOXC2 may act as a promising molecular target for regulating EHCC metastasis. It is mutated in the human vascular disease lymphedema-distichiasis and plays an essential role in lymphatic vascular development. FOXC2 gene expression may provide an effective target for anti-EMT-based therapies for the treatment of claudin-low/basal B breast tumors or other EMT-/CSC-enriched tumors.
Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 439-454 of mouse FOXC2, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added lysine residue. The immunizing sequence is conserved in human and mouse. The sequence is partially conserved in FOXC1, another member of Forkhead family.
