Immunohistochemical analysis of 10% paraformaldehyde-fixed frozen Human pancreas tissue labeling PAX6 with ab78545 at 1/1000 dilution.
Nuclear staining in pancreas islets. IHC-fr image of PAX6 staining in a section of frozen normal human pancreas performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab78545, 1ug/ml dilution, 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.

Immunohistochemical analysis of mouse brain tissue, staining PAX6 with ab78545.
Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in PBST) for 12 hours at 4°C. An AlexaFluor®568-conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.
This image was generated using a previous batch manufactured using hybridoma production method.

Biological function summary
PAX6 acts as an important regulator in eye and neural development functioning alone and as part of larger complexes with other transcription factors. This role ensures the correct formation of ocular structures including the lens retina and cornea and neural elements by activating downstream targets important for cell fate decisions. The PAX6 protein intricately influences the genetic circuits that guide stem cell differentiation highlighting its importance in embryogenesis and organogenesis.
Pathways
PAX6 is pivotal in the Wnt signaling pathway and retinoic acid signaling. Its interaction within the Wnt pathway orchestrates vital developmental processes including those of eye morphogenesis and brain patterning. The protein collaborates with other transcriptional regulators such as SOX2 and EYA1 within these pathways facilitating the complex network of signals necessary for organ development and cellular identity specification.
