Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab240398 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Application | Abreviews | Notes |
---|---|---|
WB | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Detects a band of approximately 38 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 38 kDa). Under our testing conditions we used a high sensitivity exposure system to obtain this result. Customers are recommended to optimize WB testing conditions.
|
|
IHC-P | Use at an assay dependent concentration. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol. | |
IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |

Function
Transcription factor which binds to specific A/T-rich DNA sequences in the promoter regions of a number of genes. Involved in transcriptional regulation in islet beta cells. Binds to the insulin promoter and is involved in regulation of the insulin gene. Together with NKX2-2 and IRX3 acts to restrict the generation of motor neurons to the appropriate region of the neural tube. Belongs to the class II proteins of neuronal progenitor factors, which are induced by SHH signals. -
Tissue specificity
Pancreatic beta cells. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. -
Domain
The C-terminal domain contributes to sequence-specific DNA-binding. -
