Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody to FOXJ2

Forkhead box protein J2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXJ2 gene. FOXJ2 is a fork head transcriptional activator, the expression of which starts very early in embryonic development and it is distributed widely in the adult. FOXJ2 is localized constitutively at the nucleus of the cell. Two tyrosine residues and a stretch of basic amino acid residues at the N and C-terminal ends of the fork head domain, respectively, are important for its nuclear targeting. These residues are conserved strongly among all members of the fork head family, suggesting that they could be involved in the nuclear translocation mechanism of all fork head factors.
