Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of OLIG2 in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14\,21)(q11.2\,q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
