CST, 99540SF, NKX6.1 (D8O4R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying NKX6-1. Validated for WB,IHC,IF,F. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, NKX6.1 (D8O4R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #99540) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #54551. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 54551 Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity NKX6.1 (D8O4R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total NKX6.1 protein. Note: Some non-specific staining of squamous epithelium has been observed by IHC. It is unclear if the antibody works on human samples in western blotting but is predicted to based on 100% sequence homology. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu72 of human NKX6.1 protein. Background The homeodomain protein NKX6.1 is a transcription factor that regulates pancreatic β-cell development (1). Overexpressed NKX6.1 stimulates rat pancreatic β-cell proliferation and increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) (2). The effect on GSIS was shown to be mediated by the upregulation of prohormone VGF expression and the subsequent potentiation by TLQP-21, a peptide derived from VGF (3). Both nuclear receptors Nr4a1 and Nr4a3 are essential for pancreatic β-cell proliferation driven by overexpressed NKX6.1 (4). In addition, studies suggest that NKX6.1 is a suppressor for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), leading to inhibition of tumor metastasis (5).
