Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.
Protocols
Specificity / Sensitivity
NKX2.5 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total NKX2.5 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala71 of human NKX2.5 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from CCRF-CEM cells using NKX2.5 Antibody.
Background
NKX2.5 is a member of the NKX homeobox transcription factor family. NKX2.5 plays an essential role in heart development and is among the earliest factors expressed in cardiac lineage of developing embryos. Its targeted disruption in mice causes abnormal heart morphogenesis, severe growth retardation, and embryonic lethality around E9.5 (1,2). Defects in NKX2.5 are associated with several congenital heart conditions, such as atrial defect with atrioventricular conduction defects (ASD-AVCD) and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) (3,4). Transcriptional activation of NKX2.5 is also associated with some B and T cell leukemias that result from chromosomal translocation (5-8).
