What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:
- The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
- High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- Improved sensitivity and specificity
- Long-term security of supply
- Animal-free batch production

FOXC2 also known as Forkhead Box C2 is a transcription factor weighing approximately 55 kDa. It is a part of the FOX family of transcription factors characterized by a distinct forkhead DNA-binding domain. FOXC2 expresses in various tissues including adipose tissue blood vessels and mesenchymal cells. Its role is to regulate the expression of genes involved in development and differentiation.
Biological function summary
This transcription factor plays a significant role in the development of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. It functions as part of a complex network working with other transcription factors to control gene expression that governs vascular remodeling and lymphangiogenesis. Through its activity FOXC2 influences cell fate decisions impacting tissue formation and function during embryogenesis and adult life.
Pathways
FOXC2 participates notably in the TGF-beta signaling pathway. It interacts with SMAD family proteins to influence cellular responses to transforming growth factor-beta signals which are important for cellular proliferation and differentiation. FOXC2 also interfaces with other signaling pathways working in tandem with proteins like Notch and VEGF to modulate angiogenesis and vascular homeostasis.
FOXC2 mutations and dysregulation associate with lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome and various types of cancer. It frequently interacts with other proteins such as VEGFR-3 in these conditions. Mutations affecting FOXC2 can lead to abnormal lymphatic development contributing to fluid retention and limb swelling in lymphedema. In cancer FOXC2 acts as a regulator of cell invasion and metastasis indicating its potential as a therapeutic target.
