This antibody is directed against Mouse ZIC2 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from Human, Chimpanzee, Mouse, Rat and Dog based on 100 % homology for the immunogen sequence. Expect cross reactivity with ZIC2 from Chicken, Zebrafish and Frog as the core 16 amino acid residues within the immunogen sequence show very high degrees of homology with ZIC2 from these sources. Cross reactivity with ZIC2 homologues from other sources has not been determined.

Background
ZIC2 (also known as zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2, HPE5, Zic family member 2 and odd-paired Drosophila homolog) is a nuclear protein that functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. In mouse, knockout of Zic1 leads to aplasia of cerebellum and skeletal abnormalities. Mutation in Zic2 and Zic3 in mouse and/or human cause holoprosencephaly and heterotaxis, respectively. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain.Synonyms: Zinc finger protein ZIC 2, Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2
