HOPX antibody can be used for detection of HOPX by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
HOPX is a small homeodomain protein that lacks normally conserved residues required for DNA binding (1). It is thought to act downstream of NKX2-5 and modulates serum response factor (SRF)-dependent cardiac-specific gene expression and cardiac development (1). HOPX also acts a tumor suppressor gene in multiple tumors and cancer cell lines (2,3). HOPX has been reported to regulate the proliferation/differentiation homeostasis in different cell types, including keratinocytes (4).
