| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2 is a protein encoded by the NKX2-2 gene in humans. It is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that plays a critical role in neuroendocrine/glial differentiation. It belongs to a family of genes whose homeodomains are homologous to that of the Drosophila NK-2 gene and may be involved in specifying diencephalic neuromeric boundaries. It serves as an important regulator of growth and development in the ventral forebrain, heart, lung, and thyroid. Its expression has also been detected in the pancreas, where it is vital for the final differentiation of β-cells. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
