    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    HOXD9 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total HOXD9 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human HOXD9 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Homeobox protein Hox-D9 (HOXD9) is a sequence-specific transcription factor that is part of a developmental regulatory program that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. HOXD9 is developmentally expressed in structures of either mesodermal or neuro-ectodermal origin, such as developing limbs, gonads, and the central nervous system (1-6). HOXD9 plays a critical role in regulation of limb development, neuronal development, and development of mammary glands and gonads in many organisms (1-6). The HOXD9 gene promoter is found to be hypermethylated and silenced in multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer, melanoma brain metastases, and cholangiocarcinomas (7-9). In addition, HOXD9 expression is increased in other types of cancer, including human glioblastomas and astrocytomas, where expression appears to drive growth of the tumors (10).
