General description

Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron development. OLIG2 is a universal marker of diffuse gliomas including oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, and mixed glioma.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody reacts with chicken, human, and mouse oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 transcription factors.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C-terminal region of Human OLIG2

Application

Rabbit Anti-OLIG2 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-OLIG2 antibody is used to tag oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 in ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate and as a diffuse glioma marker protein.

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.

OLIG2 is a recently identified transcription factor involved in the specification of cells in the oligodendroglial lineage. We investigated the expression of OLIG2 by in-situ hybridisation in 21 brain tumours: nine grade II and III oligodendrogliomas, three grade II oligoastrocytomas

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
