Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from Mouse liver tissues (5 mg tissue equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 µL of either Normal Mouse IgG, or 4 µL of Anti-FOXA2 and the Magna ChIP™ G Kit (Cat. # 17-611). Successful immunoprecipitation of FOXA2 associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, Mouse Hnf4α enhancer as a positive locus, and mouse Hnf4α promoter as a negative locus. (Figure 2). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-409) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
HepG2 cell lysate was probed with Anti-FOXA2 (1:500 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a Goat Anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates FOXA2 (~50 kDa). (Figure 3).
This ChIPAb+ FOXA2 -ChIP Validated Antibody & Primer Set conveniently includes the antibody & the specific control PCR primers.

General description
Also known as hepatocyle nuclear factor 3-beta (HNF-3B), Forkhead box protein A2 (FOXA2) belongs to the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. This family of transcription factors influences gene expression in endodermally-derived tissues such as lung, liver, stomach, pancreas, and intestine. Foxa2 has also been detected in ectodermally-derived tissues such as kidney, uterus and vagina, and seminal and coagulating glands during development. Several studies show that FOXA proteins help facilitiate the binding of several nuclear receptors to their respective targets in a context-dependent manner, and are thereby implicated in various functions including cellular maintenance, differentiation, metabolism, and organogenesis. Aberrant function of FOXA proteins are attributed to diseases states such as diabetes and Parkinson′s disease.
All ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
