Product Details anti-NKX2-1 Antibody

Binding Specificity: N-Term

Specificity: NKX2-1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other NK2 homeobox family members. At least three isoforms of NKX2-1 are known to exist, this antibody will detect all three.

Purification: NKX2-1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Immunogen: NKX2-1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human NKX2-1. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of NKX2-1.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: NKX2-1 antibody can be used for detection of NKX2-1 by Western blot at 0.25 - 0.5 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Target Details for NKX2-1

Target: NKX2-1 (NK2 Homeobox 1 (NKX2-1))

Alternative Name: NKX2-1

Background: NKX2-1 Antibody: NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1) has been identified as a thyroid-specific transcription factor that binds and activates the promoter of thyroid specific genes such as thyroglobulin and thyrotropin receptor. NKX2-1 is crucial in the maintenance of the thyroid differentiation phenotype and morphogenesis. It contains one homeobox DNA-binding domain. NKX2-1 also may play a role in lung development and surfactant homeostasis. Mutations and deletions in this gene are associated with benign hereditary chorea, congenital hypothyroidism, neonatal respiratory distress, and may be associated with thyroid cancer. NKX2-1 has been suggested to be a candidate suppressor of malignant progression.
