Caudal related homeobox (Cdx) genes are known to modulate axial elongation and patterning in many vertebrate embryos. Cdx4 regulates the ontogenesis of placental labyrinth in mice. Furthermore, Cdx4 is known to dysregulate Hox gene expression which causes acute myeloid leukemia in mouse models. Rabbit Anti-CDX4 antibody recognizes rat, mouse, bovine, and human CDX4.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human CDX4
Application
Rabbit Anti-CDX4 (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CDX are homeodomain transcription factors related to the Drosophila caudal gene. The vertebrate CDX have been implicated in the development of the posterior embryo. Several signaling molecules, notably retinoic acid (RA) and members of the Wnt (wingless) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families, are also implicated in patterning of the posterior vertebrate embryo. CDX family is the target of Wnt, RA and FGF signaling, suggesting that CDX factors act to convey the activity of these signaling molecules to Hox genes.

HOX genes have emerged as critical effectors of leukemogenesis, but the mechanisms that regulate their expression in leukemia are not well understood. Recent data suggest that the caudal homeobox transcription factors CDX1, CDX2, and CDX4, developmental regulators of HOX gene

Caudal related homeobox (Cdx) genes have so far been shown to be important for embryonic axial elongation and patterning in several vertebrate species. We have generated a targeted mutation of mouse Cdx4, the third member of this family of transcription
