Anti-Neurogenin-2 Antibody, clone 7G4 clone 7G4, from mouse

Neurogenin-2 (UniProt P70447; also known as Helix-loop-helix protein mATH-4A, mATH4A, NGN-2, Protein atonal homolog 4) is encoded by the Neurog2 (also known as Ath4a, Atoh4, Ngn2) gene (Gene ID 11924) in murine species. Neuronal differentiation is largely under the control of basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) proneural transcription factors that play key roles during development of the embryonic nervous system. Neurogenin-2 (NGN-2) is a bHLH proneural transcription factor that orchestrates the progression from neural progenitor to differentiating neuron in several regions of the central nervous system, including the formation of sensory neurons from the epibranchial placode and neurogenesis in dorsal root ganglia. NGN-2 dimerizes with TCF3 (E12/E47), the heterodimer then binds to target DNA regions and recruit transcriptional coactivators, such as p300/CBP and Brg1, to facilitate the transcription of a cascade of additional bHLH transcription factors, such as NeuroD, as well as structural and functional genes associated with mature neuronal activity.
