Recombinant Human OLIG2 cell lysate

• Cat.No.: OLIG2-1248HCL

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome.

OLIG2 is implicated in the development of gliomas, influencing tumor cell differentiation and growth.

What role does OLIG2 play in neural stem cell differentiation, particularly in the central nervous system?

OLIG2 plays a crucial role in directing neural stem cells to differentiate into oligodendrocytes and neurons in the CNS.

How does OLIG2 influence neuronal and glial cell interactions during brain development?

OLIG2 affects interactions between neurons and glial cells, essential for proper brain development.

How do alterations in OLIG2 expression or function affect neurodevelopmental disorders?

Changes in OLIG2 can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders due to altered brain cell development and function.

How does OLIG2 contribute to the repair and regeneration of myelin in demyelinating diseases?

OLIG2 contributes to myelin repair and regeneration, crucial in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis.
