HOXA1 is a homeobox transcription factor that may regulate differentiation and morphogenesis in cells. Mutations in HOXA1 have been linked to the risk of autism spectrum disorders and defects in the central nervous system. Rabbit HOXA1 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, rabbit, bovine, and canine HOXA1.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human HOXA1
Application
Rabbit HOXA1 antibody is suitable for western blot (2.5 μg/ml) and IHC (4-8 μg/ml) applications.
Biochem/physiol Actions
In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. HOXA1 is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. The encoded protein may be involved in the placement of hindbrain segments in the proper location along the anterior-posterior axis during development.

The analysis of mice mutant for both Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 suggests that these two genes function together to pattern the hindbrain. Separately, mutations in Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 have profoundly different effects on hindbrain development. Hoxa1 mutations disrupt the rhombomeric organization
Family studies have demonstrated that the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a major genetic etiologic component, but expression and penetrance of the phenotype are variable. Mice with null mutations of Hoxa1 or Hoxb1, two genes critical to hindbrain development, have
