Anti-PHOX2B, clone PHOX2B/7792R

0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. Paired homeobox protein 2B (PHOX2B) is a transcription factor located on chromosome 4p13, which is essential for the formation of autonomic ganglia in the autonomic nervous system. PHOX2B is expressed in neuroblastoma, brain and adrenal glands. PHOX2B deficiency can lead to susceptibility to congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) and neuroblastoma type 2 (NBLST2). Protein function: Involved in the development of several major noradrenergic neuron populations, including the locus coeruleus. Transcription factor which could determine a neurotransmitter phenotype in vertebrates. Enhances second-messenger-mediated activation of the dopamine beta- hydrolase and c-fos promoters, and of several enhancers including cAMP- response element and serum-response element.
