Rabbit Anti-NHLH1 + NHLH2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The helix-loop-helix (HLH) structures are known motifs commonly found in membrane-active and DNA-binding proteins. The helix-loop-helix proteins HEN1 and HEN2 are DNA-binding proteins that may be involved in cell-type determination in the early nervous system. Studies of expression in normal tissues have demonstrated expression of NHLH1/NSCL-1 and NHLH2/NSCL-2, the genes encoding HEN1 and HEN2, in the developing central and peripheral nervous system, specifically in developing neurons.
Function:
NHLH1 and NHLH2 are two basic domain helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins expressed predominantly in the developing nervous system and also in some cell lines derived from tumors with neural or neuroendocrine features such as neuroblastoma, PNET, and small cell lung cancer.
Subunit:
Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus
Similarity:
Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.
