Function

Meiosis-inducer required for the transition into meiosis for both female and male germ cells (PubMed:16461896, PubMed:17115059, PubMed:18799751, PubMed:18799790, PubMed:19805549, PubMed:32032549, PubMed:32054698). In female germ cells, acts downstream of ZGLP1 as a key effector of the meiotic program: required for premeiotic DNA replication and subsequent events in meiotic prophase (PubMed:16461896, PubMed:17115059, PubMed:18799751, PubMed:18799790, PubMed:32054698). During spermatogenesis, next to its role in meiotic initiation, promotes (but is not required for) spermatogonial differentiation (PubMed:25902548). In complex with MEIOSIN, directly activates the transcription of a subset of critical meiotic genes playing a central role in cell-cycle switching from mitosis to meiosis (PubMed:19805549, PubMed:32032549).

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Stra8 antibody (ab49602)

    IHC image of Stra8 staining in mouse testis formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab49602, 0.1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A goat anti-rabbit biotinylated secondary antibody was used to detect the primary, and visualized using an HRP conjugated ABC 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.
