Antigen Preparation
"A synthetic peptide derived from internal sequence of Human SOX-9 protein. This sequence is identical among human, rat, mouse, bovine, chicken, and dog."
Background
"The SOX9 is a member of the SOX [Sry-related high-mobility group (HMG) box] family of HMG DNA-binding domain transcription factors and is required for the development and differentiation of multiple cell lineages. SOX9 is expressed in primary prostate cancers in vivo, at a higher frequency in recurrent prostate cancer and in prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, CWR22, PC3, and DU145). It has been reported that the cAMP/PKA stimulation induces SOX-9 nuclear translocation via facilitating its nuclear import by the phosphorylation of SOX-9 at Ser64 and Ser181. SOX9 in prostate basal cells supports the development and maintenance of the luminal epithelium and that a subset of prostate cancer cells may escape basal cell requirements through SOX9 expression."
PURIFICATION
The Rabbit IgG is purified by Epitope Affinity Purification
