HOPX antibody is human specific. At least three isoforms of HOPX are known to exist, this antibody will detect all three isoforms.
Purification
HOPX antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
HOPX antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human HOPX. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of HOPX.
HOPX antibody can be used for detection of HOPX by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 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.

HOPX is a small homeodomain protein that lacks normally conserved residues required for DNA binding (1). It is thought to act downstream of NKX2-5 and modulates serum response factor (SRF)-dependent cardiac-specific gene expression and cardiac development (1). HOPX also acts a tumor suppressor gene in multiple tumors and cancer cell lines (2,3). HOPX has been reported to regulate the proliferation/differentiation homeostasis in different cell types, including keratinocytes (4).
