Neurogenin 3 Antibody / NGN3

SKU: orb2634949

Description

This antigen is a transcription factor that interacts with NKX2-2 to regulation transcription of NEUROD1. The neurogenin family of proteins belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) superfamily and consists of Neurogenin 1, Neurogenin 2 and Neurogenin 3 (also designated ngn3). bHLH members are transcriptional regulators that determine cell fate. Neurogenin 3 is expressed in discrete regions of developing neurons and in the embryonic pancreatic islets of Langerhans. HNF-6 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 6) acts as a positive regulator of Neurogenin 3 by binding to and stimulating the neurogenin gene promoter. Neurogenin 3 is involved in the initial differentiation of the four islets cell types, while a network of transcription factors, including Hlxb9, Isl1, NeuroD, Nkx-2.2, Nkx-6.4, Pax-4, Pax-6, PDX-1 and Mash1, are required for final differentiation. Neurogenin 3 acts upstream of NeuroD in a bHLH cascade. Neurogenin 3 activates the expression of NeuroD at the onset of islet cell differentiation through box sequences E1 and E3 in the NeuroD promoter.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using Neurogenin 3 antibody (clone PCRP-NEUROG3-1E10). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the PCRP-NEUROG3-1E10 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
