  • Clone: AP2a 8G8/5
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: 50 kDa
  • Application: ChIP ; IHC ; WB
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: AP-2 is a family of developmentally regulated transcription factors which also play a role in breast cancer and melanoma. AP-2?Ÿ may be important in cardiac and kidney development. The AP-2 transcription factors form the OB2 complex that has been shown to up-regulate c-erb-B2 transcription.
