MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
The transcription factor Foxa2 (also called hepatocyte nuclear factor 3beta, [HNF-3beta) is implicated in blood glucose homeostasis. Overexpression of Foxa2 decrease heptocyte glycogen levels and reduce expression of glucoe homeostasis genes. The loss of Foxa2 function leads to up-regulation of hexokinase (HK) I and II and glucokinase (HK-IV) mRNA expression.
