Anti-HOXD9 (Internal Region) antibody produced in rabbit

There are 39 homeobox (HOX) genes in vertebrates. They are divided into four clusters (HOXA−HOXD), located on different chromosomes (7p15, 17q21.2, 12q13 and 2q31). Each cluster contains 9−11 member genes encoding relatively small gene products containing a highly conserved 60-amino-acid region (the homeobox), with DNA-binding activity that contributes to their activity as transcription factors. The HOX genes are evolutionarily conserved.

Anti-HOXD9 (Internal Region) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence

Homeobox (HOX) transcription factors control important development pathways involved embryo morphogenesis. HOX genes mainly participate in the formation of the body plan during embryonic development. Altered homeobox gene function or expression is implicated in the development of cancers such as leukemias or neoplasms of the breast, prostate, kidney, colon, skin, and brain. HOXD9 is involved in patterning of forelimb, axial skeleton and embryonic segmentation. It might promote cell migration, invasion and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma. HOXD9 was shown to be involved in the early stages of normal joint development and also in the pathologic process of arthritis.
