Anti-NKX3-1 Antibody Picoband® APC Conjugated

This gene encodes a homeobox-containing transcription factor. This transcription factor functions as a negative regulator of epithelial cell growth in prostate tissue. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with prostate tumor progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of mouse NKX3-1. Mouse NKX3-1 shares 80% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human NKX3-1.
