Mash1/Ascl1 Antibody

Ascl1 (Achaete-scute homolog 1) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in neuronal differentiation, it acts as a pioneer transcription factor, accessing closed chromatin to allow other factors to bind and activate neural pathways. It directly binds the E box motif (5'-CANNTG-3') on promoters and promotes transcription of neuronal genes. The combination of three transcription factors, ASCL1, POU3F2/BRN2 and MYT1L, is sufficient to reprogram fibroblasts and other somatic cells into induced neuronal (iN) cells in vitro. Ascl1 plays a role at early stages of development of specific neural lineages in most regions of the CNS, and of several lineages in the PNS. It is essential for the generation of olfactory and autonomic neurons. It acts synergistically with FOXN4 to specify the identity of V2b neurons rather than V2a from bipotential p2 progenitors during spinal cord neurogenesis, probably through DLL4-NOTCH signaling activation. Anti-Mash1/Ascl1 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in CCHS, SIDS, Dopaminergic Neurogenesis, and DNA binding. Anti-Mash1/Ascl1 Antibody has been tested in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Expect a band at ~24.7 kDa in western blot using appropriate lysates or tissues. Positive control used was SH-SY5Y whole cell lysate in WB, human thyroid papillary carcinoma tissue in IHC.
