DNA-binding transcriptional activator. Recognizes and binds to the consensus octamer binding site 5'-ATAATTAA-3' in promoter of target genes. Plays a fundamental role in the gene regulatory network essential for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation. Cooperates with the transcription factor POU4F2 to achieve maximal levels of expression of RGC target genes and RGC fate specification in the developing retina. Involved in the specification of motor neurons in cooperation with LHX3 and LDB1 (By similarity). Binds to insulin gene enhancer sequences (By similarity). Essential for heart development. Marker of one progenitor cell population that give rise to the outflow tract, right ventricle, a subset of left ventricular cells, and a large number of atrial cells as well, its function is required for these progenitors to contribute to the heart. Controls the expression of FGF and BMP growth factors in this cell population and is required for proliferation and survival of cells within pharyngeal foregut endoderm and adjacent splanchnic mesoderm as well as for migration of cardiac progenitors into the heart (By similarity).

Islet 1 also known as ISL1 is a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor with a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa. It plays an important role in regulating gene expression during the development of the nervous system and pancreas. You can find Islet 1 predominantly in motor neurons pancreatic beta cells and cardiac muscle cells. Its expression is important during embryonic stages for cell differentiation and maturation. Researchers use "Isl 1 neuronal marker" antibodies to identify this protein's presence in tissue.
Islet 1 is involved in the differentiation and survival of various cell types. As part of a transcription complex it regulates downstream target genes essential for the development of motor neurons and cardiac muscle. It also contributes significantly to the developmental pathways of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. The ISL1 marker is therefore an important tool for studying cell lineage and fate in developmental biology.
Islet 1 is involved in key developmental signaling pathways including the Notch signaling and Wnt signaling pathways. In these pathways Islet 1 collaborates with other proteins like Lhx3 and Ngn2 to ensure proper gene activation for neuronal and cardiac development. Wnt signaling affects the expression of isl 1 marker genes contributing to precise spatial and temporal regulation during embryogenesis.
Islet 1 has links to congenital heart defects and type 2 diabetes. Mutations or altered expression of this protein can disrupt pancreatic beta cell function and motor neuron development. In congenital heart disease the interaction of Islet 1 with proteins like Nkx2.5 is critical. Its role in type 2 diabetes ties with the functioning of other proteins involved in insulin secretion making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention in these conditions.

Terms & Conditions.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of adult mouse cardiac fibroblasts labeling Islet 1 with ab20670 at 1/100 dilution (green). Samples were fixed using 4% PFA with 0.25% TritonX-100. Scale bar is 100 μM.
IHC image of Islet 1 staining in a section of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded mouse embryo E12, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval (EDTA based pH 9.0 solution, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab20670, 0.5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

ab20670 2µg/ml staining ISLET1 in human pancreas using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is strong nuclear and weak cytoplasmic staining primarily in the pancreatic islet.
Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.
Dorsal root ganglion explants were dissected from 16 day-old rat embryos and cultured for 6 hours in vitro with Neurobasal Medium containing B27 supplement.
Nuclei stained positive for anti-Islet 1 antibody ab20670 at 2μg/ml. As would be expected, not all cells in this preparation were Islet 1-positive. Pre-incubation of ab20670 with the immunizing peptide ab21996 resulted in complete blocking of the antibody.
