Gene Information

human ... PAX8(7849)

General description

PAX8 is a nephric transcription factor that is involved in the embryogenesis of thyroid gland, renal, and Mullerian system. It is expressed in several ovarian and kidney carcinomas, and can be a useful biomarker for these cancers for determining primary tumor sites.
Rabbit Anti-PAX8 antibody recognizes zebrafish, human, mouse, rat, and canine PAX8.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PAX8

Application

Rabbit Anti-PAX8 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.25μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PAX8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. This nuclear protein is involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes. Mutations in its gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas.This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
