Intruduction: | Human homeobox protein OTX2 gene encodes a member of the bicoid subfamily of homeodomain-containing transcription factors. The encoded protein acts as a transcription factor and plays a role in brain, craniofacial, and sensory organ development. The encoded protein also influences the proliferation and differentiation of dopaminergic neuronal progenitor cells during mitosis. Mutations in this gene cause syndromic microphthalmia 5 (MCOPS5) and combined pituitary hormone deficiency 6 (CPHD6). This gene is also suspected of having an oncogenic role in medulloblastoma. Recent data indicated that OTX2 is required for efficient Oct4 recruitment to many enhancers region for regulating ES cell in ground state pluripotency. Full-length human OTX2 (2 - 297 aa, Isoform-I, derived from BC032579) gene was constructed with 29 aa N-terminal T7 / His / TEV cleavage site Tag and expressed in E.coli as inclusion bodies. This protein was refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified. |
