Nkx3-1 Antibody - middle region : Biotin (ARP37115_P050-Biotin)

Nkx3-1 is a transcription factor, which binds preferentially the consensus sequence 5'-TAAGT[AG]-3' and can behave as a transcriptional repressor. It plays an important role in normal prostate development, regulating proliferation of glandular epithelium and in the formation of ducts in prostate. Nkx3-1 acts as a tumor suppressor controlling prostate carcinogenesis, as shown by the ability to suppress growth and tumorigenicity of prostate carcinoma cells and plays a role in the formation of minor salivary glands (particularly palatine and lingual glands) . It is essential for appropriate differentiation and secretory function of the bulbourethral gland.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
