Satb Homeobox 2 (SATB2) Antibody

Background

SATB homeobox 2 (SATB2) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in chromatin organization, gene regulation, and cellular differentiation SATB2 is involved in the regulation of skeletal development, neural differentiation, and craniofacial patterning, particularly during embryogenesis It functions by binding to specific DNA sequences and organizing chromatin into loops, facilitating the regulation of gene expression in a spatially organized manner SATB2 is highly expressed in osteoblasts and neurons, where it influences the expression of genes involved in bone formation and synaptic plasticity Mutations in SATB2 lead to developmental disorders such as SATB2-associated syndrome, which is characterized by intellectual disability, speech delays, and craniofacial abnormalities SATB2 also plays a role in cancer, where it can modulate tumor progression and metastasis through its effects on chromatin structure and gene expression Recent studies have highlighted its potential as a therapeutic target for regenerative medicine and in disorders involving disrupted bone and neural development
