Anti-forkhead box L2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the FOXL2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 376 amino acid residues and a mass of 38.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is a reported transcriptional regulator. Post-translational modifications have been described, including sumoylation. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome. Other names for this target antigen include BPES1, PFRK, PINTO, POF3, forkhead box protein L2, forkhead transcription factor FOXL2, and BPES. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 80 citations in the literature describe the use of forkhead box L2 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
