EGR2 Products

Early Growth Response 2 (EGR2) is an early growth response family member which binds to specific areas of DNA and helps control the activity of particular genes. Specifically, EGR2 activates several genes that are involved in the formation and maintenance of myelin, the fatty substance that covers and protects nerve cells.

Defects in EGR2 have been linked to a number of diseases including congenital hypomyelination neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1D, and Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy. EGR 2 antibodies may be useful tools for nerurscience research.
