Product Overview
Clone AOGA-16 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes prospero homeobox protein 1 (gene PROX1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 83.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 90 kDa.
PROX1 is a homeobox transcription factor related to Drosophila Prospero. It is the key fate determinant of lymphatic endothelial cells and is also required for development of the lens, liver, heart and parts of the nervous system, so PROX1 is widely used as a lymphatic endothelial marker and studied in organogenesis.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 1:500–1:2000 |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry | 1:50–1:200 |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human SH-SY5Y cells.
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 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human colon 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 based on the sequence of human PROX1.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places prospero homeobox protein 1 in the nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Most actively expressed in the developing lens. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
