Anti-TOX3 Antibody Picoband®

The protein encoded by this gene contains an HMG-box, indicating that it may be involved in bending and unwinding of DNA and alteration of chromatin structure. The C-terminus of the encoded protein is glutamine-rich due to CAG repeats in the coding sequence. A minor allele of this gene has been implicated in an elevated risk of breast cancer. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

TOX3; CAGF9; TNRC9; TOX high mobility group box family member 3; CAG trinucleotide repeat-containing gene F9 protein; Trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 9 protein

E.coli-derived human TOX3 recombinant protein (Position: M1-Q560) . Human TOX3 shares 95% and 95.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat TOX3, respectively.
