Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse HAND2 Antibody

Detection of HAND2 in Mouse Embryo.

HAND2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded 13 d.p.c. sections of Mouse Embryo using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse HAND2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3876) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell nuclei in developing tongue.

Background: HAND2

HAND2 (also known as dHAND, Thing-2 and Hed) is a 24 kDa, class B member of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors superfamily. HAND2 is essential for cardiac morphogenesis and required for vascular development and regulation of angiogenesis, possibly through VEGF signaling. HAND2 is also implicated in limb development acting as an upstream regulator of sonic hedgehog. Alternative initiation and internal deletions result in at least three potential HAND2 isoforms. Human and mouse HAND2 proteins are 100% identical.
