Hox genes are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors. Homeobox B6 (HOXB6) gene is mapped to human chromosome 17q21.32. HOX proteins have a highly conserved 60-amino-acid region (the homeobox).
Specificity
Anti-HOXB6 (N-terminal) recognizes human HOXB6 (also known as HOX2B, HU-2 and Hox-2).
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 48-60 of human HOXB6 conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence in mouse differs by one amino acid.
Application
Anti-HOXB6 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
One of the major functions of Hox genes seems to be the formation of the body plan during embryonic development. Alteration in the homeobox gene function or expression is implicated in the development of cancers including the breast, prostate, kidney, colon, skin and brain. HOXB6 is frequently overexpressed in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Findings have indicated that HOXB6 overexpression expanded hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and myeloid precursors while impairing erythropoiesis and lymphopoiesis.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month.For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. 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.

Homeobox genes encode transcription factors known to be important morphogenic regulators during embryonic development. An increasing body of work implies a role for homeobox genes in both hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis. In the present study we have analyzed the role of

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone cancer in children and adolescents. Unfortunately, treatment failures are common due to metastasis and chemore-sistance, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Accumulating evidence indicated that the homeobox B7 (HOXB7) gene was

Both normal development and neoplastic progression involve cellular transitions from one physiological state to another. Whereas much is being discovered about signal transduction networks involved in regulating these transitions, little progress has been made in identifying the higher order genetic
The HOX family of homeobox genes plays an important role in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. Dysregulated HOX gene expression profoundly effects the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and committed progenitors, and aberrant activation of HOX genes is

Unlike the case with some other solid tumors, whole genome array screening has not revealed prognostic genetic aberrations in primary gastric cancer. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) arrays for 56 primary gastric cancers resulted in identification
