Description
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human NKX2-1.
- other_names:
- NK2 homeobox 1, NKX2A, TEBP, Thyroid nuclear factor 1, Thyroid transcription factor 1, TITF1, TTF1, TTF-1
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- 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.
- Background:
- 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.
