Function

Transcription factor, which binds preferentially the consensus sequence 5'-TAAGT[AG]-3' and can behave as a transcriptional repressor. Plays an important role in normal prostate development, regulating proliferation of glandular epithelium and in the formation of ducts in prostate. Acts as a tumor suppressor controlling prostate carcinogenesis, as shown by the ability to inhibit proliferation and invasion activities of PC-3 prostate cancer cells.

Notes

ab250875 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Nkx3.1 antibody [EPR14970] ab186413.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Nkx3.1 known also as NK-3 transcription factor related locus 1 is a protein that acts as a transcription factor. Its molecular mass is approximately 25 kDa. The expression of Nkx3.1 occurs mostly in the prostate but you can also see it in other tissues like testis and certain brain regions. It plays roles in androgen receptor signaling where it binds to specific DNA sequences to regulate the transcription of target genes influencing cell growth and differentiation.

Biological function summary

Nkx3.1 is involved in regulating prostate epithelial cell differentiation and maintaining proper glandular architecture. It does not appear to form part of a larger protein complex but instead interacts directly with DNA to control gene expression. Alongside this it may involve co-regulatory proteins to execute its transcriptional activities effectively controlling the expression of genes critical for normal prostate function.

Pathways

Nkx3.1 is involved in the prostate cancer pathway and the androgen receptor signaling pathway. Within these pathways its interactions include those with proteins such as the androgen receptor (AR) and the homeobox protein Nkx2-5 coordinating the cellular responses to hormonal signals. These interactions allow Nkx3.1 to modulate the transcription of genes responsive to androgens which impacts cellular proliferation and development within prostate tissues.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in the Nkx3.1 protein function relate most notably to prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Loss or mutation of the Nkx3.1 gene often coincides with early stages of prostate cancer development. Through the androgen receptor pathway Nkx3.1 influences disease progression where decreased expression or activity can exacerbate cellular abnormalities. Understanding its altered interactions in these diseases particularly with the androgen receptor provides insight into mechanisms driving prostate disorders offering potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
