anti-PAX6 Polyclonal Antibody

PAX6

Oculorhombin

PAX genes encode nuclear transcription factors that may function as major controllers of developmental processes in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Mutations in murine PAX genes underlie three natural mouse alleles and several corresponding human syndromes (aniridia, foveal hypoplasia and Peters’ anomaly). Murine PAX genes have been shown to be proto-oncogenes. Furthermore, human PAX genes have recently been demonstrated to play an influential part in some common human cancers such as brain tumors and lymphomas. All PAX genes encode a DNA-binding domain termed the paired domain and in addition some also encode a second binding domain--the paired type homeobox. PAX6 is involved in the early development of the optical vesicle and has been shown to interact with Six3, another important visual development protein.

Rabbit

rabbit IgG

N/A

Human, Mouse, Rat, sheep, chicken, frog

N/A

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 mg (0.5 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide.

Affinity purified rabbit IgG

Western blot

Western blot: 1-4 µg

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

Polyclonals and antibodies

Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.
