Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects homeobox protein Hox-C8 (gene HOXC8) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 27.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 35 kDa.
HOXC8 is a homeobox transcription factor from the HOXC cluster that helps specify positional identity, particularly in the thoracic region of the axial skeleton. It is also studied in cartilage differentiation, adipocyte biology and cancer.

Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U251 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human HOXC8 fragment (Glu17–Ser133), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places homeobox protein Hox-C8 in the nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
