Anti-Meis 1/2/3 Antibody, clone 9.2.7

Hox, Pbx, and Meis families of transcription factors form heteromeric complexes and bind DNA through specific homeobox domains. Meis1, 2, and 3 are members of the TALE (three amino acid loop extension) family of homeodomain containing proteins. Meis1 binds to Hox and Pbx proteins to form complexes with distinct DNA-binding specificities. Like Hox and Pbx proteins, the overexpression of Meis1 in BHX-2 myeloid leukemias implies a role for this protein in oncogenesis. Two Meis related proteins, Meis2 and Meis3 (also designated Mrg1 and Mrg2, respectively), possess largely similar sequence identity with Meis1 and express in normal tissues as well as myeloid leukemias. In the pancreas, Meis2 preferentially associates with Pbx1, and together they associate with the pancreas specific homeodomain factor, Pdx1, to repress Pdx1-induced transcriptional activation.
