Scientific Data Images for Human Pygopus-2 Antibody

Detection of Human Pygopus-2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Pygopus-2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line and HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Pygopus-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3616) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). A specific band was detected for Pygopus-2 at approximately 53 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
Pygopus-2 antibody in Human Ovary and Human Ovarian Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Pygopus‑2 in Human Ovary and Human Ovarian Cancer Tissue.

Pygopus-2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of normal human ovary (left panel) and ovarian cancer tissue (right panel) using Goat Anti-Human Pygopus-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3616) at 3 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to nuclei.

Background: Pygopus-2

Pygopus-2 is a 41 kDa nuclear protein that functions as a transcriptional co-activator in the Wnt signaling pathway. Human Pygopus-2 is synthesized as a 406 amino acid (aa) residue protein that has the conserved N-terminal homology domain (NHD) and the C-terminal PHD (Plant homeodomain) zinc finger. The PHD zinc finger binds Legless/Bcl9, which in turn binds beta-Catenin, which recruits TCF/LEF DNA binding proteins. Formulation of the quaternary complex is required for the activation of Wnt-responsive genes. Over the region used for immunization, human Pygopus-2 shares 95% amino acid sequence identity with the mouse protein.
