Anti-HMGA2 (High Mobility Group AT-hook Protein 2, BABL, High Mobility Group Protein HMGI-C, HMGIC,

HMGA2 belongs to the family of high mobility group with AT-hook DNA binding domain. HMGA proteins are considered architectural transcription factors, they do not have direct transcriptional activation capacity, but instead regulate gene expression by changing DNA conformation through binding to AT-rich regions in the DNA, and/or direct interaction with other transcription factors (1,2). HMGA2 is abundantly and ubiquitously expressed and plays a crucial role during embryonic development (3). HMGA2 promotes stem cell self-renewal and decreases in its expression are associated with stem cell aging (4-7). Expression levels of HMGA2 are very low in normal adult tissues, but its overexpression or rearrangement is associated with many types of cancer (8-11).
