Anti-NKX6-2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein NK6 homeobox 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 277 amino acid residues and a mass of 29.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. It is reported to be highly expressed in the brain. NKX6-2 is reported to be a transcription factor with repressor activity involved in the regulation of axon-glial interactions at myelin paranodes in oligodendrocytes. NKX6-2 is also used as a cellular marker for characterizing oligodendrocytes and neural stem cells. Synonyms for this target antigen include NK homeobox family 6, B, NK6 transcription factor related, locus 2, glial and testis-specific homeobox protein, homeobox 6B, homeobox protein NK-6 homolog B, and homeobox protein Nkx-6.2. NKX6-2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some NKX6-2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
