Overview
The Fos related gene, Fra-2, was initially molecularly cloned from chicken genomic DNA and shown to represent a new member of the immediate early gene family. The human counterpart of the chicken Fra-2 gene has since been described. Sequence alignment shows that the amino acid sequences conserved among Fra-2, c-Fos, Fra-1 and Fos B are contained in five regions. Region 2, the longest and most highly conserved region, contains the leucine zipper structure and the basic region, suggesting that like Fos, Fra-1 and Fos B, Fra-2 also forms heterodimers with c-Jun that recognize a specific DNA sequence such as the binding site for transcription factor AP-1. Such a model is further supported by the finding that the Fra-2 gene product forms a complex with c-Jun in growth-stimulated cells
This anti-FOSL2 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone PCRP-FOSL2-1B1, Mouse IgG1, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.

Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
FOSL2 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling FOSL2 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link FOSL2 signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- FACS
- IF
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
