Anti-LIM Homeobox 2 (LHX2, hLhx2, Homeobox Protein LH2, LH2, LIM HOX Gene 2, MGC138390)

LIM homeobox 2, also known as LHX2, is a gene that belongs to the LIM homeobox family. These genes seem to play an important role in asymmetric cell division, tissue specification and differentiation of specific cell types. LHX2 is expressed in developing B-cells, the forebrain, liver, during embryonic development when limbs and organs are developing, in the optic stalk, and olfactory epithelia. Studies have shown that under-expression of LHX2 during embryonic development causes hepatic fibrosis. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 1:100-500, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Human hippocampal and mouse cerebellum tissue, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
