Rabbit Anti-TBR2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
EOMES (eomesodermin homolog), also known as TBR2 (T-box-brain2), is the 686 amino acid human homolog of the mouse Eomes protein that contains one T-box DNA binding domain. Genes that contain T-box domains encode proteins that function as transcription factors and are often involved in the regulation of various developmental events. Localized to the nucleus and expressed in the developing brain, EOMES is thought to be involved in neuronal migration and division and may play a role in trophoblast development and gastrulation. Silencing of the EOMES gene can cause mutated or arrested development and may lead to microcephaly disorders which are characterized by reduced head circumference and a malformed brain.
Function:
Functions as a transcriptional activator playing a crucial role during development. Functions in trophoblast differentiation and later in gastrulation, regulating both mesoderm delamination and endoderm specification. Plays a role in brain development being required for the specification and the proliferation of the intermediate progenitor cells and their progeny in the cerebral cortex. Also involved in the differentiation of CD8+ T-cells during immune response regulating the expression of lytic effector genes.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in CD8+ T-cells.
DISEASE:
Note=A translocation t(3;10)(p24;q23) located 215 kb 3' to the EOMES gene but leading to loss of its expression was identified in a large consanguineous family. Homozygous silencing produces microcephaly associated with corpus callosum agenesis, bilateral polymicrogyria, ventricular dilatation and a small cerebellum.
Similarity:
Contains 1 T-box DNA-binding domain.
