Biological Significance
Olig2 is a transcription factor which is required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Expressed in the ventral spinal cord as early as 9.5 dpc and scattered in the mantle zone, likely corresponding to oligodendrocyte progenitors migrating out from their site of origin. From 10.5 through 14.5 dpc, Olig2 is expressed in numerous cells in the ventricular and subventricular zones of the lateral and medial ganglionic eminences, suggesting that expression might not be limited to the oligodendrocytic lineage. Olig2 has further been shown to be critical in the proliferation of malignant glioma in brain tumors (Ligon et al., 2007).
Preparation and Storage
Store at -20 degree C in undiluted aliquots; stable for up to one year after date of receipt. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Uniprot Description

Function: Required for oligodendrocyte and motor neuron specification in the spinal cord, as well as for the development of somatic motor neurons in the hindbrain. Cooperates with OLIG1 to establish the pMN domain of the embryonic neural tube. Antagonist of V2 interneuron and of NKX2-2-induced V3 interneuron development. Ref.5 Ref.6

Subunit structure: Interacts with NKX2-2. Ref.9

Subcellular location: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: The NLS contained in the bHLH domain could be masked in the native form and translocation to the nucleus could be mediated by interaction either with class E bHLH partner protein or with NKX2-2. Ref.7 Ref.9

Tissue specificity: Expressed specifically in the brain. Ref.1

Developmental stage: Expressed in the ventral spinal cord as early as 9.5 dpc. Expression becomes progressively restricted to a narrow zone within the ventral neuroepithelium of the spinal cord. In the 14.5 dpc spinal cord, expressed in the oligodendrocyte progenitors of the ventral ventricular zone, but not dorsal root ganglia Schwann cells. Also expressed scattered in the mantle zone, likely corresponding to oligodendrocyte progenitors migrating out from their site of origin. In the brain, from 10.5 through 14.5 dpc, expressed in numerous cells in the ventricular and subventricular zones of the lateral and medial ganglionic eminences, suggesting that expression might not be limited to the oligodendrocytic lineage. By 15.5 dpc, dispersed throughout the gray matter, with little or no residual expression in the ventricular zone. In the postnatal brain, present preferentially in the white matter, such as corpus callosum and cerebellar medulla. Expressed in the 13.5 and 14.5 dpc retina and in the olfactory epithelium from 11.5 dpc onward. Ref.1 Ref.2

Induction: By SHH. Also induced by NKX6-1 in the developing spinal cord, but not in the rostral hindbrain. Ref.4 Ref.8

Domain: The bHLH is essential for interaction with NKX2-2.

Sequence similarities: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.

Product Notes

The OLIG2 olig2 (Catalog #AAA502172) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Olig2 reacts with Human, mouse, rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Olig2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot. WB: 1:3,000 IHC: 1:1,000 ICC: 1:1,000 IP: 1:500. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OLIG2 olig2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Olig2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
