Biological background

Biological context: Sodium permeable non-voltage-sensitive ion channel inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Mediates the electrodiffusion of the luminal sodium (and water, which follows osmotically) through the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Plays an essential role in electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis, but also in airway surface liquid homeostasis, which is important for proper clearance of mucus. Controls the reabsorption of sodium in kidney, colon, lung and eccrine sweat glands. Also plays a role in taste perception.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Apical cell membrane., tissue context: Expressed in the female reproductive tract, from the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube to the endometrium (at protein level) (PubMed:22207244). Expressed in kidney (at protein level). In the respiratory tract, expressed in the bronchial epithelium (at protein level). Highly expressed in lung. Detected at intermediate levels in pancreas and liver, and at low levels in heart and placenta (PubMed:22207244). in skin, expressed in keratinocytes, melanocytes and Merkel cells of the epidermal sub- layers, stratum basale, stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum (at protein level) (PubMed:28130590). Expressed in the outer root sheath of the hair follicles (at protein level) (PubMed:28130590). Detected in both peripheral and central cells of the sebaceous gland (at protein level) (PubMed:28130590). Expressed by eccrine sweat glands (at protein level) (PubMed:28130590). In skin, also expressed by arrector pili muscle cells and intradermal adipocytes (PubMed:28130590). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 predominate in all tissues. Expression of isoform 3, isoform 4 and isoform 5 is very low or not detectable, except in lung and heart (PubMed:9575806)..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare GATA2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of GATA2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify GATA2-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: GATA2 (GATA binding protein 2) is a human gene which makes a protein called GATA binding protein 2 - a transcription factor. The GATA family of transcription factors, which contain zinc fingers in their DNA binding domain, have emerged as candidate regulators of gene expression in hematopoietic cells. Ciciotte et al. (1997)mapped the mouse Gata2 gene to chromosome 6 by study of DNA from an interspecific backcross panel. They pointed out that the human gene had been mapped to chromosome 3 by Dorfman et al. (1992) using DNA from a panel of 12 rodent/human hybrids containing various human chromosomes and applying Southern blot analysis. By exon trapping using a PAC contig spanning a breakpoint region associated with myeloid leukemia, Wieser et al. (2000) mapped the GATA2 gene to chromosome 3q21. GATA2 is transcribed from telomere to centromere. GATA2 is expressed in hematopoietic progenitors, including early erythroid cells, mast cells, and megakaryocytes, and also in nonhematopoietic embryonic stem cells.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Apical cell membrane.
