DEC1 Antibody

DEC1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that appears to play a role in cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and the circadian rhythm. DEC1 is able to promote chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells by activating transcription of bone-related genes. When it is overexpressed in cells it can suppress apoptosis by blocking caspase activation and inducing transcription of survivin. DEC1 has also been found to play a role mammalian in circadian rhythm as a suppressor of the CLOCK/BMAL1 promoter.

Alternative names for DEC1 Antibody include class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 2 antibody, bHLHB2 antibody, differentially expressed in chondrocytes protein 1 antibody, enhancer-of-split and hairy-related protein 2 antibody, SHARP-2 antibody, stimulated by retinoic acid gene 13 protein antibody, BHLHB2 antibody, SHARP2 antibody, STRA13 antibody, Stra14 antibody.
