General description

Homeobox C9 (HOXC9) gene is a member of the conserved homeobox family and is located on the human chromosome at 12q13.13. This gene encodes for the HOXC9 transcription factor/protein.

Specificity

Anti-HOXC9 (C-terminal) recognizes human HOXC9 (also known as Hox-3B).

Application

Anti-HOXC9 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in
  • immunoblotting
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Homeobox C9 (HOXC9) transcription factor/ protein is involved in morphogenesis. Loss of this gene is associated with a hypermethylated state of its promoter in non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. HOXC9 protein produces neuronal differentiation and growth arrest in neuroblastoma cells and acts as a biomarker in neuroblastoma patients. HOXC9 gene expression is upregulated by retinoic acid. The HOXC9 gene expression is associated with astrocytomas malignancy and cervical cancer.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, the product may be stored at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots –20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Chemoresistance prevents the curative cancer chemotherapy and presents a formidable challenge for both cancer researchers and clinicians. We have previously shown that miR-193a-3p promotes the multi-chemoresistance of bladder cancer cells via repressing its three target genes: SRSF2, PLAU and HIC2.
