Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Transcriptional inhibitor that binds to DNA sequence 5'- CACCT-3' in different promoters. Represses transcription of E- cadherin. .
Scientific background (datasheet): ZEB2 (Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox2), also known as SIP1or ZINC FINGER HOMEOBOX 1B (ZFHX1B), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZEB2 gene. The ZEB2 gene is a member of the ZEB1/Drosophila Zfh1 family of 2-handed zinc finger/homeodomain proteins and functions as a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor that interacts with activated SMADs, the transducers of TGF-beta signaling, and interacts with the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation (NURD) complex. By radiation hybrid analysis, Nagase et al. (1998) mapped the ZEB2 gene to chromosome 2. Wakamatsu et al. (2001) mapped the ZEB2 gene to chromosome 2q22. Vandewalle et al. (2005) showed that expression of mouse Sip1 in human epithelial cells caused a morphologic change from an epithelial to a mesenchymal phenotype. Expression of SNAI1 in epithelial cells triggers an epithelial-mesenchyme transition. Beltran et al. (2008) showed that synthesis of ZEB2 was upregulated following SNAI1 expression in human cell lines.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Nucleus .
Tissue details (datasheet): Highly expressed in spleen, lymph node, thymus, tonsil and at lower levels in lung. Highly expressed in promyelocytic HL-60 cells and in B-cell lines.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the delta-EF1/ZFH-1 C2H2-type zinc-finger family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Developmental Families,Domain Families,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Lineage Markers,Lineage Specification,Neurogenesis,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Oncoproteins,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Stem Cells,Transcription,Transcription Factors.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
