EMX2，like its closely related homolog EMX1，is a homeobox transcription factor involved in specifying cell fates in the developing central nervous system and participates in the development of olfactory neurons. EMX2 is expressed in the dorsal telencephalon during development in a low rostral-lateral to high caudal-medial gradient and is proposed to pattern the neocortex into defined functional areas. It is also expressed in embryonic and adult olfactory neuroepithelia where it complexes with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E （eIF4E） and possibly regulates mRNA transport or translation. In the developing urogenital system，it is expressed in epithelial tissues and is negatively regulated by HOXA10.
应用类型
IHC: 5 ug/ml， ELISA. However， the optimal conditions should be determined individually.
免疫原
EMX2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human EMX2.
