Product Description
NANOS2 Antibody (C-term) [APR05061G] | Leading Biology
Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies
Host: Rabbit
Species Reactivity: H
Specificity: This NANOS2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 108-137 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human NANOS2.
Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, P-body. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Localizes at P-bodies during gonocyte development (By similarity) . More abundant in perinuclear region of the cytoplasm of the germ cells of the adult testis
Molecular Weight: 15132
Clone: Polyclonal
Gene Name: NANOS2
Gene ID: 339345
Function: Plays a key role in the sexual differentiation of germ cells by promoting the male fate but suppressing the female fate. Represses the female fate pathways by suppressing meiosis, which in turn results in the promotion of the male fate. Maintains the suppression of meiosis by preventing STRA8 expression, which is required for premeiotic DNA replication, after CYP26B1 is decreased. Regulates the localization of the CCR4-NOT deadenylation complex to P-bodies and plays a role in recruiting the complex to trigger the degradation of mRNAs involved in meiosis. Required for the maintenance of the spermatogonial stem cell population. Not essential for the assembly of P-bodies but is required for the maintenance of their normal state (By similarity) .
Summary: Tissue Location: Testis and ovary. Expression found in several spermatogenic stages: in cells on the periphery of the tubules which could correspond to spermatogonia, in spermatocytes and in round spermatids (at protein level) .
Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.
Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Application: WB, IHC-P
Dilution: WB--1:1000 IHC-P--1:100~500
