Target/Specificity | This PAX4 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 171-200 amino acids from the Central region of human PAX4. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 FC~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
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 | PAX4 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PAX4 |
---|---|
Function | Plays an important role in the differentiation and development of pancreatic islet beta cells. Transcriptional repressor that binds to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Competes with PAX6 for this same promoter binding site. Isoform 2 appears to be a dominant negative form antagonizing PAX4 transcriptional activity. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |

Background
PAX4 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. These proteins play critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. The paired box 4 gene is involved in pancreatic islet development and mouse studies have demonstrated a role for this gene in differentiation of insulin-producing beta cells.
