Anti-MAML2 Antibody

Mastermind-like 2, also known as MAM2, MAM3 or MLLMAML2, is a nuclear speckle protein that acts as a transcriptional co-activator for Notch receptors. The Notch signaling pathway influences cell fate by regulating the ability of precursor cells to properly respond to developmental signals. MAML2 is a member of the mastermind-like family of proteins that are human homologs of the Drosophila melanogaster mastermind protein. Through its N-terminal region, it interacts with the ankyrin repeats of the Notch proteins (1-4). This interaction leads to formation of a DNA-binding complex with the Notch proteins and RBP-Jκ; a complex that can then induce HES1 gene expression. While the N-terminal domain of MAML2 is essential for proper Notch binding, the C-terminal domain of MAML2 is essential for transcriptional activation. A chromosomal aberration involving the gene is implicated in mucoepidermoid carcinomas, clear cell hidradenomas and benign Warthin tumors.

Store the MAML2 antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
