Description

Description générale

The superfamily of Forkhead transcription factors (FOX) consists of more than 100 members, with orthologues expressed in a variety of species ranging from yeast to man. They are characterized by a common Forkhead (or winged helix) domain, a variant of the helix-turnhelix motif. Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) transcripts encode for three different isoforms, I, II and III encoding for proteins of 715, 740, and 623 amino acids respectively. FOXP2 has a polyglutamine tract. FOXP1, FOXP2 and FOXP4 contain a complex N-terminal region responsible for transcriptional repression. This region contains various protein-protein interaction motifs conserved in all three proteins, including a zinc finger and a putative leucine zipper.

Immunogène

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 36-53 of human FOXP2, conjugated to KLH via a C-terminal lysine residue. The immunizing sequence is conserved in mouse and rat.

Application

Anti-FOXP2 antibody is suitable for:

• western blot analysis as primary antibody of the embryonic cortex to study the expression of FoxP2 in neural precursors of the embryonic cortex.
• immunohistochemistry of prostate gland cells to determine the expression level of FOXP2 in prostate cancer.
• microarray
• western blot at a dilution of 1:500-1:1,000 using extracts of Jurkat cells and mouse heart tissue extract.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) is the first gene relevant to the human ability to develop language, offering an opportunity to study neural mechanisms from a molecular perspective. Missense and nonsense mutations have been identifying in families with language impairment. Thus, a point mutation led to the isolation to FOXP2, whereas more recently a truncation was discovered in a family with speech and language difficulties as well.

Forkhead transcription factors (FOX) family consists of more than 100 members. It is widely expressed in a variety of species ranging from yeast to man. It has a common Forkhead (or Winged Helix) domain, a variant of the helix-turnhelix motif. It plays a key regulatory role in embryonic development, differentiation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis. Its subfamily P (FOXP1, FOXP2, FOXP3 and FOXP4) has well defined clinical implications in tumor suppression as well as autoimmunity and development. FOXP2 is composed of a polyglutamine tract and a complex N-terminal region responsible for transcriptional repression. The N-terminal region contains various protein-protein interaction motifs including a zinc finger and a putative leucine zipper. It has been reported that FOXP2 acts as a major part of a multiprotein complex that regulates diverse aspects of tissue restricted gene expression during development.
