Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets paired box protein Pax-2 (gene PAX2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 44.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 45 kDa.
PAX2 is a paired-box transcription factor essential for the developing kidney and urogenital tract, eye and midbrain–hindbrain region. It is a common marker of renal epithelium, and PAX2 mutations cause renal coloboma syndrome.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat, Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 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 confirmed staining (IHC): mouse lymphaden tissue, rat lymphaden tissue, human tonsil tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human pax2. The peptide sequence is conserved in mouse.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places paired box protein Pax-2 in the nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
