Cdx2 Antibody #3977

Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Source
W IP IHC-P IF-IC F H Endogenous 38 Rabbit

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation  IHC-P=Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)  IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)  F=Flow Cytometry
Reactivity Key:  H=Human
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cdx2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Cdx2 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids at the N-terminus of human Cdx2. Antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Cdx2, a homeobox domain-containing transcription factor, is a master regulator of the trophoectoderm, the layer that gives rise to extra-embryonic tissues in mammalian development (1). Cdx2 is also involved in intestinal development (2), and gain of expression or loss of expression has been associated with various human malignancies such as Barret Esophagus (3) and colorectal cancer (4,5). Mouse embryonic stem cells deficient in Cdx2 display limited hematopoietic progenitor development and altered Hox gene expression (6), pointing to a role for Cdx2 in Hox gene regulation. Cdx2 is also implicated in the aberrant expression of Hox genes in human AML cell lines (7).
