Extra Details:: Pax2 is a transcription factor encoded by a gene that is required for the embryonic development of a variety of mammalian tissues, including the kidney, optic cup, and inner ear. Structurally, the Pax2/5/8 protein subfamily is characterized by an N-terminal paired domain, a conserved octapeptide sequence, and a paired-paired type homeobox. The N-terminal paired domain of the Pax2/5/8 proteins binds DNA, while the C-terminal region is required for activation of target genes. In human mammary tissue, Pax2 expression has been identified in sub-populations of mammary ductal cells, and also in > 50% of human breast tumors surveyed (n=38). Mouse studies have demonstrated co-localization of Pax2 and WT1 (Wilms’ tumor suppressor protein) in the nuclei of normal and cancerous breast cells, indicating a role for Pax2 in the regulation of the response to progesterone in the mature mammary gland. Pax2 is a phosphorylation target of JNK, and has been observed to co-imunoprecipitate with JIP1. Phosphorylation of Pax2 enhances its ability to transactivate reporter genes. Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: FLISA: 0.1-1ug/ml Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml; Western Blot analysis of JNK-stimulated (phosphorylated) fusion proteins identiﬁes a single band at ~50kD. In Western Blot analysis of HEK293 cells, a thick band between ~42-45kD is observed, which may represent different human Pax2 isoforms and/or Pax8. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: APC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
