For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Polyclonal

Rabbit

Protein A purified

Liquid. Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

For short term use, store at 2-8 degree C up to 1 week. For long term storage, store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-MSX1 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

This is a rabbit polyclonal antibody against MSX1. It was validated on Western Blot and immunohistochemistry

Target Description: Slightly proximal to the Huntington disease locus, the human MSX1 gene is deleted in patients with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. This gene is also called HOX7. The Msx family of vertebrate HOX genes was originally isolated by homology to the Drosophila msh (muscle segment homeo box) gene. This is a candidate gene for human cleft palate.

MSX1_HUMAN

This gene encodes a member of the muscle segment homeobox gene family. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional repressor during embryogenesis through interactions with components of the core transcription complex and other homeoproteins. It may also have roles in limb-pattern formation, craniofacial development, particularly odontogenesis, and tumor growth inhibition. Mutations in this gene, which was once known as homeobox 7, have been associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate 5, Witkop syndrome, Wolf-Hirschom syndrome, and autosomoal dominant hypodontia.

MSX1: Acts as a transcriptional repressor. May play a role in limb-pattern formation. Acts in cranofacial development and specifically in odontogenesis. Expression in the developing nail bed mesenchyme is important for nail plate thickness and integrity. Expressed in the developing nail bed mesenchyme. Belongs to the Msh homeobox family.
