Gene Information

human ... OLIG2(10215)

General description

OLIG2 is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is expressed in the spinal cord. This transcription factor is involved in the development of oligodendrocytes and motor neurons. OLIG2 may be useful as a diagnostic marker of oligodendroglial cancer.
Rabbit Anti-OLIG2 (AB2) antibody recognizes chicken, human, mouse, rat, and bovine OLIG2.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human OLIG2

Application

Rabbit Anti-OLIG2 (AB2) antibody is suitable for use in western blot applications at a concentration of 1μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

OLIG2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. OLIG2 is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. It is associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia due to a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22). OLIG2 might play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.

OLIG1 and OLIG2 are basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors expressed in the pMN domain of the spinal cord, which sequentially generates motoneurons and oligodendrocytes. In Olig1/2 double-mutant mice, motoneurons are largely eliminated, and oligodendrocyte differentiation is abolished. Lineage tracing data suggest
