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.

The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point.Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the MAML2 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

A human recombinant full length protein was used as the immunogen for this MAML2 antibody.

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