NPAS1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that that regulates branching morphogenesis in mouse embryonic lung tissues. Studies in mice have reported that NPAS1 deficiency can result in behavioural and functional abnormalities. Rabbit Anti-NPAS1 antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat NPAS1.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human NPAS1
Application
Rabbit Anti-NPAS1 antibody can be used for western blotting at 2μg/ml. It can also be used for IHC at 4-8μg/ml, using paraffin-embedded tissues.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NPAS1 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. Studies of a related mouse gene suggest that it functions in neurons. The exact function of this gene is unclear, but it may play protective or modulatory roles during late embryogenesis and postnatal development.
Sequence
Synthetic peptide located within the following region: TIRYGPAELGLVYPHLQRLGPGPALPEAFYPPLGLPYPGPAGTRLPRKGD
Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Laboratory mice bearing inactivating mutations in the genes encoding the NPAS1 and NPAS3 transcription factors have been shown to exhibit a spectrum of behavioral and neurochemical abnormalities. Behavioral abnormalities included diminished startle response, as measured by prepulse inhibition, and impaired

Drosophila trachealess (Trl), master regulator of tracheogenesis, has no known functional mammalian homolog. We hypothesized that genes similar to trachealess regulate lung development. Quantitative (Q)RT-PCR and immunostaining were used to determine spatial and temporal patterns of npas1 gene expression in
