Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes homeobox protein SIX1 in human samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 32.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 37 kDa.
SIX1 is a homeodomain transcription factor of the sine oculis family that is essential for development of the kidney, skeletal muscle and inner ear. It has no activation domain of its own and switches between repression and activation depending on partners such as EYA coactivators and DACH corepressors, and it is also studied as a developmental regulator re-expressed in several cancers.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): MCF-7 cells, 22RV1 cells.
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, 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.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human SIX1. It differs from the mouse sequence at one residue.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places homeobox protein SIX1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Specifically expressed in skeletal muscle. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
