Target/Specificity | This HAND2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 81-110 amino acids from the Central region of human HAND2. |
Dilution | IF~~1:10~50 WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | HAND2 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | HAND2 |

Synonyms | BHLHA26, DHAND |
Function | Essential for cardiac morphogenesis, particularly for the formation of the right ventricle and of the aortic arch arteries. Required for vascular development and regulation of angiogenesis, possibly through a VEGF signaling pathway. Also plays an important role in limb development, particularly in the establishment of anterior- posterior polarization, acting as an upstream regulator of sonic hedgehog (SHH) induction in the limb bud. Is involved in the development of branchial arches, which give rise to unique structures in the head and neck. Binds DNA on E-box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG- 3' (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00981}. |
Tissue Location | Heart. |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors. This gene product is one of two closely related family members, the HAND proteins, which are asymmetrically expressed in the developing ventricular chambers and play an essential role in cardiac morphogenesis. Working in a complementary fashion, they function in the formation of the right ventricle and aortic arch arteries, implicating them as mediators of congenital heart disease. In addition, this transcription factor plays an important role in limb and branchial arch development.
