Background

FOXL2 is a winged helix/forkhead transcription factor that is highly conserved in human, goat, mouse, and certain aquatic species. Given its cross-species conservation, it appears to play a critical role evolutionarily, likely in ovarian differentiation in mammals and in ovarian somatic cell differentiation and in further follicle development and/or maintenance. Immunohistochemical data shows that FOXL2 is a nuclear protein specifically expressed in eyelids and in fetal and adult ovarian follicular cells. It does not undergo any major posttranslational modifications. FOXL2 is also found to be associated with blepharo-phimosis/ptosis/epicanthus inverses syndrome (BPES). There are two forms of BPES. Type I BPES shows eyelid abnormal-ities that are associated with ovarian failure. In type II BPES, only eyelid defects are found. Studies have shown that FOXL2 is expressed in the mesenchyme of developing mouse eyelids and in adult ovarian follicles.

Notes

1. The positive control slide provided in the kit allows you to be sure that the experimental set-up is working properly.
2. Do not allow slides to dry at any time during this procedure.
3. Please don't replace the matching reagents in this product with other manufacturers' products.
4. As DAB is a carcinogen, please take necessary precautions.
5. PBS (reagent 1) can be stored for one week at 4℃ after preparation; The antigen retrieval buffer (1×reagent 2) and the chromogenic agent (the mixture of reagents 7 and 8) should be prepared right before each assay.

As DAB is a carcinogen, please take necessary precautions.
