Gene Information

General description

Sox genes comprise a family of genes that are related to the mammalian sex determining gene SRY. These genes similarly contain sequences that encode for the HMG-box domain, which is responsible for the sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Sox genes encode putative transcriptional regulators implicated in the decision of cell fates during development and the control of diverse developmental processes. The highly complex group of Sox genes cluster at a minimum of 40 different loci that rapidly diverged in various animal lineages. At present 30 Sox genes have been identified, and members of this family have been shown to be conserved during evolution and to play key roles during animal development. Some are involved in human diseases, including sex reversal.

Specificity

Anti-Sox9 Antibody recognizes Sox9.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminal
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of human Sox9.

Application

Anti-Sox9 Antibody is a well characterized affinity purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody that reliably detects Transcription Factor Sox-9. This highly published antibody has been validated in IHC & WB.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: An 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Sox9 in murine embryonic bone and adult cartilage tissue sections.
Western Blotting Analysis: An 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Sox9 in human PC3 prostate cancer cells and HepG2 hepatocytes.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox9 occupancy at target chromatin sites by ChIP using chromatin preparations from P1 post-natal mouse rib chondrocytes (Ohba, S., et al. (2015). Cell Rep. 12(2):229-243).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox9 occupancy at the Bmi promoter in Z/sox9tg but not in wild-type control mouse embryonic fibroblasts/MEFs (Matheu, A., et al. (2012). Cancer Res. 72(5):1301-1315).
ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox9-targeted chromatin sites by a genome-wide ChIP-seq analysis using chromatin preparations from P1 post-natal mouse rib chondrocytes (Ohba, S., et al. (2015). Cell Rep. 12(2):229-243).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot detected the accumulation of Sox9-positive oval cells by fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining of paraffin-embedded liver sections from transgenic mice treated with diethylnitrosamine to induce conditional liver HNF4a knockout (Saha, S.K., et al. (2014). Nature. 513(7516):110-114).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: Representative lots detected Sox9 immunoreactivity in paraffin-embedded mouse embryo sections by fluorescent immunohistochemistry (Carrasco, M., et al. (2012). J. Clin. Invest. 122(10):3504-3515; Sylva, M., et al. (2011). PLoS One. 6(8):e22616).

(2012). J. Biomed. Biotechnol. 2012:973140; Fischer, A.J., et al. (2011). Neuroscience. 178:250-260).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected the stem cell marker Sox9 by fluorescent immunocytochemistry staining of paraformaldehyde-fixed E-Cad/Lgr6+ human lung stem cells (HLSCs) clonally derived and passaged in culture (Oeztuerk-Winder, F., et al. (2012). EMBO J. 31(16):3431-3441).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot immunostained the supporting cells (Sertoli) of the seminiferous tubules by immunohistochemistry staining of paraffin-embedded mouse testis sections (O′Shaughnessy, P.J., et al. (2012). PLoS One. 7(4):e35136).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox9 immunoreactivity in various formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tumor tissue sections (Matheu, A., et al. (2012). Cancer Res. 72(5):1301-1315).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected the stem cell marker Sox9 in E-Cad/Lgr6+ human lung stem cells (HLSCs) clonally derived and passaged in culture (Oeztuerk-Winder, F., et al. (2012). EMBO J. 31(16):3431-3441).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected upregulated Sox9 expression level in human colorectal cancer cell lines, HCT116, DLD1, and SW620 (Matheu, A., et al. (2012). Cancer Res. 72(5):1301-1315).
