Target/Specificity | This VSX1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 125-154 amino acids from the Central region of human VSX1. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | VSX1 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | VSX1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | RINX |
Function | Binds to the 37-bp core of the locus control region (LCR) of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster (PubMed:10903837). May regulate the activity of the LCR and the cone opsin genes at earlier stages of development (PubMed:10903837). Dispensable in early retinal development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91V10}. |
Tissue Location | In the adult eye, expressed in lens, iris, ciliary body, choroid, optical nerve head and, most strongly, in retina, but not expressed in sclera and cornea. According to PubMed:11978762, expressed in adult retina but not in lens and cornea. Within adult retina, found exclusively in the inner nuclear layer. Isoform 1, isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 expressed in adult retina, but not in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle. Not expressed in thymus and spleen. Expressed in embryonic craniofacial tissue. Expressed in fetal (week 14) retina. Strongly expressed in neonatal retina, weakly in neonatal lens, choroid and cornea (day 1, 4; month 9). |

Background
VSX1 contains a paired-like homeodomain and binds to the core of the locus control region of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster. The encoded protein may regulate expression of the cone opsin genes early in development. Mutations in this gene can cause posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and keratoconus.
