General description
HOXB9 is a homeobox transcription factor that regulates cell growth and differentiation. HOXB9 is expressed throughout early bovine embryogenesis and has been implicated in thyroid cancer.
Rabbit Anti-HOXB9 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, bovine, and canine HOXB9.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human HOXB9
Application
Rabbit Anti-HOXB9 antibody has been used to detect Hoxb9 in bovine in embryos using whole-mount immunofluorescence and western blot techniques. The antibody has also been used at a dilution of 1:50 for immunohistochemical analysis in papillary thyroid carcinomas.
Biochem/physiol Actions
HOXB9 belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, located on different chromosomes, consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. HOXB9 is one of several homeobox HOXB genes located in a cluster on chromosome 17. The exact role of this gene has yet to be determined.
