MSX2 Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) (IHC (P)) — Immunohistochemical analysis of MSX2 in paraffin embedded human ovarian cancer using a MSX2 polyclonal antibody (Product # PA5-97984) at a dilution of 1:100. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.

MSX2 Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western Blot analysis of MSX2 using a MSX2 Polyclonal antibody (Product # PA5-97984) at a concentration of 2 µg/mL. Positive WB detected in: Jurkat whole cell lysate, Rat kidney tissue. A secondary Goat polyclonal antibody to rabbit IgG was applied at a 1:50,000 dilution. Observed band size: 29 kDa.

Target Information

Msx2 is a transcriptional repressor whose normal activity may establish a balance between survival and apoptosis of neural crest-derived cells required for proper craniofacial morphogenesis. This protein may also have a role in promoting cell growth under certain conditions and may be an important target for the RAS signaling pathways. Mutations in the Msx2 gene are associated with parietal foramina 1 and craniosynostosis type 2.
