Anti-Transcriptiefactor E2F2 E2F2 Antibody Picoband® fluoro488 Vervoeging

E2F2 (E2F transcription factor 2) also called E2F-2, is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. The E2F family plays a crucial role in the control of cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins and is also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses.  The  E2F2  gene is mapped to 1p36 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed the specific binding of  E2F2  to ECE1b promoter sequences containing either allele of the C-338A polymorphism, with the -338A allele being associated with an increased affinity to  E2F2  compared with -338C. The ability of Myc to induce S phase was impaired in the absence of either  E2f2  or E2f3 but not E2f1 or E2f4. In contrast, the ability of Myc to induce apoptosis was markedly reduced in cells deleted for E2f1 but not  E2f2  or E2f3.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human E2F2, identical to the related mouse sequence.

Highest level of expression is found in placenta, low levels are found in lung. Found as well in many immortalized cell lines derived from tumor samples.

Transcription activator that binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC- 3' found in the promoter region of a number of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or in DNA replication. The DRTF1/E2F complex functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from g1 to s phase. E2F2 binds specifically to RB1 in a cell-cycle dependent manner.
