  • Function

    Activates insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet amyloid polypeptide and glucose transporter type 2 gene transcription. Particularly involved in glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene transcription. Binds preferentially the DNA motif 5'-[CT]TAAT[TG]-3'. During development, specifies the early pancreatic epithelium, permitting its proliferation, branching and subsequent differentiation. At adult stage, required for maintaining the hormone-producing phenotype of the beta-cell.

  • Tissue specificity

    Duodenum and pancreas (Langerhans islet beta cells and small subsets of endocrine non-beta-cells, at low levels in acinar cells).

  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in PDX1 are a cause of pancreatic agenesis (PAC) [MIM:260370]. This autosomal recessive disorder is characterized by absence or hypoplasia of pancreas, leading to early-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This was found in a frameshift mutation that produces a truncated protein and results in a second initiation that produces a second protein that act as a dominant negative mutant.
    Defects in PDX1 are a cause of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [MIM:125853]; also known as diabetes mellitus type 2. NIDDM is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset during adulthood and insulin resistance.
    Defects in PDX1 are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 (MODY4) [MIM:606392]; also symbolized MODY-4. MODY is a form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the Antp homeobox family. IPF1/XlHbox-8 subfamily.
    Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.

  • Domain

    The Antp-type hexapeptide mediates heterodimerization with PBX on a regulatory element of the somatostatin promoter.
    The homeodomain, which contains the nuclear localization signal, not only mediates DNA-binding, but also acts as a protein-protein interaction domain for TCF3(E47), NEUROD1 and HMG-I(Y).

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated by the SAPK2 pathway at high intracellular glucose concentration.

  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus.
  • Information by UniProt

Question

Yes, these answers are of help.
I will test the protein using an electrophoretic mobility assay for
its affinity to its known DNA binding sequence. I must admit though
that I do not have a positive control because I do not have known
active pdx-1 currently available to me. If the test result is of use
to you despite the absence of a positive control, I am willing to
share the data obtained and participate in the test program.

Question

1. Is protein biologally active?
2. Is there a method to remove the tag afterwards?

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

The lab sent me the following answers:

1. Is the protein biologally active? Has this been tested?

Answer: We have not tested the recombinant proteins for activity assay yet so we do not know if the proteins are active or functional.

2. Do you know of a method to remove the GST-tag?

Answer: The GST tag is at the N-terminal end and it could be cleavaged from the fusion protein by PreScission Protease.

If you like to try the protein in functional/activity studies, we have a testing discount program you are eligible for in this case.

For UNTESTED species and/or applications, we have established a testing discount program. Here is a brief description of how it works:

The testing discount program is for customers who like to use an antibody/protein/kit on an untested species/application. You would purchase the antibody/protein/kit at full price, test it and submit an Abreview with your data (positive or negative). On your next order you will receive a discount for ONE antibody/protein at the full price (100%) of the antibody/protein you have tested, or a full price discount for the amount paid for the kit. The terms and conditions applicable to this offer can be found here: https://www.abcam.com/collaborationdiscount.
This programapplies to ELISA kits and other kits we offer.

Please let me know if I shall send you a testing discount code.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
