Rabbit anti-Human NR4A2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P43354

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NR4A2

Target Full Name

Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2

Target Function

Transcriptional regulator which is important for the differentiation and maintenance of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons during development. It is crucial for expression of a set of genes such as SLC6A3, SLC18A2, TH and DRD2 which are essential for development of mdDA neurons.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Mostly nuclear; oxidative stress promotes cytoplasmic localization.

Target Protein Families

Nuclear hormone receptor family, NR4 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in a number of cell lines of T-cell, B-cell and fibroblast origin. Strong expression in brain tissue.

Target Research Area

Cancer

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the steroid-thyroid hormone-retinoid receptor superfamily. The encoded protein may act as a transcription factor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disorders related to dopaminergic dysfunction, including Parkinson disease, schizophernia, and manic depression. Misregulation of this gene may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.
