Product details:
Mouse NFAT2 ELISA kit (ab277705) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Mouse NFAT2 protein in mouse cell extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse NFAT2 with 30 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1, also known as NFATC1 or NFAT2, is a transcription factor that plays a key role in regulating the immune response. With its complex partners, NFAT2 regulates the expression of cytokines and differentiation of T-lymphocytes. This protein is upregulated in certain type of cancers including chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The immunogen with which the antibodies for this kit were raised share high sequence identity with human and rat and are therefore expected to cross-react.

NFAT2 also known as NFATc1 is a transcription factor with a mass of approximately 100 kDa. It belongs to the Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells (NFAT) family which plays significant roles in gene expression regulation. NFAT2 is expressed in T-cells B-cells and cardiac muscle tissues. It is activated through dephosphorylation by the enzyme calcineurin allowing it to translocate into the nucleus. NFAT2 binds to specific DNA motifs to regulate the transcription of target genes impacting various cellular processes.
Biological function summary
NFAT2 plays a significant role in the regulation of immune responses and cardiac hypertrophy. It functions as part of a complex with AP-1 (Activator Protein-1) during T-cell activation integrating signals necessary for cytokine production and immune cell differentiation. In cardiac cells NFAT2 influences the expression of genes involved in hypertrophic growth. NFAT2 contributes to the development and function of the immune system by modulating critical immune pathways and cellular proliferation.
Pathways
NFAT2 serves a vital function in the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. This pathway is important for T-cell activation and is triggered by increased intracellular calcium levels leading to dephosphorylation of NFAT2. The dephosphorylated NFAT2 cooperates with proteins such as AP-1 to induce expression of cytokines like interleukin-2. NFAT2 is also linked with the MAPK signaling pathway which affects cellular proliferation and differentiation. Together these pathways highlight the integral role of NFAT2 in immune system function and cardiac development.
NFAT2 has strong connections to autoimmune diseases and cardiac hypertrophy. Aberrations in NFAT2 activity and regulation are associated with autoimmune conditions due to its central role in immune response modulation. In cardiac hypertrophy heightened NFAT2 activity may lead to pathological enlargement of heart tissue. The protein has interactions with calcineurin which also influences these conditions. Understanding these relationships helps in exploring therapeutic targets for managing immune-related diseases and cardiac dysfunctions.
