Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human HOXA9 recombinant protein (Position: M1-R204). Human HOXA9 shares 98% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse HOXA9. (reported region: M1-R204).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 30 kDa; calculated MW: 30172 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Homeobox protein Hox-A9; Homeobox protein Hox-A9. Homeobox protein Hox-A9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXA9 gene. It is mapped to 7p15.2. In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. HOXA9 is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. As HOXA9 is part of the homeobox family, involved in setting the body plans of animals, it is likely that HOXA9 would display increased expression in cells with higher differentiation potentials. Functional note: Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for induction of E-selectin and VCAM-1, on the endothelial cells surface at sites of inflammation. . Reported localization: Nucleus. Expression/tissue context: Liver.
