Western blot (1 - 5 μg/mL). Immunofluorescence (1: 750 - 1: 1000). Immunohistochemistry: the antibody works well with paraffin sections. A boiling step isrecommended when staining paraffin-embedded tissues. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Prox-1 is a homeobox gene and acts as a master switch for lymphatic endothelial phenotype. Expression of Prox-1 in blood endothelial cells induces expression of other lymphatic marker genes. Together with Podoplanin, Prox-1 can be used to reliably distinguish lympathic vessels from blood vessels. Prox1 is expressed in CNS, eye, pancreas, liver and heart, and it is one of the most specific and reliable markers for lymphatic endothelial cells.Synonyms: Homeobox prospero-like protein PROX1, PROX1, Prospero homeobox protein 1
