DescriptionChIPAb+™ FOXA2 - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set
OverviewAll ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
The ChIPAb+ FOXA2 set includes the FOXA2 antibody, a Normal Mouse IgG, and control primers which amplify a 138 bp region of ChIP Primers, Mouse Hnf4α enhancer. The FOXA2 and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of FOXA2-associated chromatin.

Background InformationAlso known as hepatocyle nuclear factor 3-beta (HNF-3B), Forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2) belongs to the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. This family of transcription factors influences gene expression in endodermally-derived tissues such as lung, liver, stomach, pancreas, and intestine. Foxa2 has also been detected in ectodermally-derived tissues such as kidney, uterus and vagina, and seminal and coagulating glands during development. Several studies show that FOXA proteins help facilitiate the binding of several nuclear receptors to their respective targets in a context-dependent manner, and are thereby implicated in various functions including cellular maintenance, differentiation, metabolism, and organogenesis. Aberrant function of FOXA proteins are attributed to diseases states such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease.

Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
Application NotesChromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from Mouse liver tissues (5 mg tissue equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 µL of either Normal Mouse IgG, or 4 µL of Anti-FOXA2 and the Magna ChIP™ G Kit (Cat. # 17-611). Successful immunoprecipitation of FOXA2 associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, Mouse Hnf4α enhancer as a positive locus, and mouse Hnf4α promoter as a negative locus. (Figure 2). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-409) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
HepG2 cell lysate was probed with Anti-FOXA2 (1:500 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a Goat Anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates FOXA2 (~50 kDa). (Figure 3).

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. These hepatocyte nuclear factors are transcriptional activators for liver-specific genes such as albumin and transthyretin, and they also interact with chromatin. Similar family members in mice have roles in the regulation of metabolism and in the differentiation of the pancreas and liver. This gene has been linked to sporadic cases of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq].

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Transcription factor that is involved in embryonic development, establishment of tissue-specific gene expression and regulation of gene expression in differentiated tissues. Is thought to act as a 'pioneer' factor opening the compacted chromatin for other proteins through interactions with nucleosomal core histones and thereby replacing linker histones at target enhancer and/or promoter sites. Binds DNA with the consensus sequence 5'-[AC]A[AT]T[AG]TT[GT][AG][CT]T[CT]-3' (By similarity). In embryonic development is required for notochord formation. Involved in the development of multiple endoderm-derived organ systems such as the liver, pancreas and lungs; FOXA1 and FOXA2 seem to have at least in part redundant roles. Originally discribed as a transcription activator for a number of liver genes such as AFP, albumin, tyrosine aminotransferase, PEPCK, etc. Interacts with the cis-acting regulatory regions of these genes. Involved in glucose homeostasis; regulates the expression of genes important for glucose sensing in pancreatic beta-cells and glucose homeostasis. Involved in regulation of fat metabolism. Binds to fibrinogen beta promoter and is involved in IL6-induced fibrinogen beta transcriptional activation.

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Binds DNA as a monomer. Binds TLE1 (By similarity). Interacts with FOXA1 and FOXA3. Interacts with PRKDC.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner; in response to insulin signaling via AKT1 is exported from the nucleus.

PTM: Phosphorylation on Thr-156 abolishes binding to target promoters and subsequent transcription activation upon insulin stimulation (By similarity).

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain.
Molecular Weight~50 kDa observed
