Description; General description; GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of ematopoiesis wherein it is essential for the regulation of myeloid lineage determination. GATA2 is required for normal megakaryocyte development and it is a negative regulator of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell differentiation. GATA2 is a novel poor prognostic marker in pediatric AML.; Rabbit polyclonal anti-GATA2 antibody reacts with canine, chicken, bovine, pig, human, mouse, and rat GATA binding protein 2 transcription factors.; Immunogen; Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human GATA2; Application; Rabbit Anti-GATA2 antibody can be used for western blot assays (1-2μg/ml) and immunohistochemical (4-8μg/ml, using paraffin embedded tissues) applications.; Rabbit polyclonal anti-GATA2 antibody is used to tag GATA binding protein 2 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of GATA binding protein 2 in myeloid lineage determination, megakaryocyte development and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell differentiation.; Physical form; Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.; Disclaimer; Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.; Biochem/physiol Actions; The GATA family of transcription factors, which contain zinc fingers in their DNA binding domain, have emerged as candidate regulators of gene expression in hematopoietic cells is essential for normal primitive and definitive erythropoiesis and is expressed at high levels in erythroid cells, mast cells, and megakaryocytes. GATA2 is expressed in hematopoietic progenitors, including early erythroid cells, mast cells, and megakaryocytes, and also in nonhematopoietic embryonic stem cells.; Sequence; Synthetic peptide located within the following region: PYYANPAHARARVSYSPAHARLTGGQMCRPHLLHSPGLPWLDGGKAALSA
