Anti-Lim-1 (Homeobox Protein Lim1, LIM Homeobox Protein 1, LHX1, LIM/Homeobox Protein Lhx1, MGC12672

LIM homeobox 1 gene product (Lim-1), also known as LHX-1, is a homeobox nuclear transcription factor expressed in human brain, thymus, tonsil and many myeloid leukemias. The 406 amino acid human LIM-1 contains a LIM domain with twin zinc-binding sequences and a homeobox DNA-binding domain. The C-terminal sequence used as an immunogen is virtually identical between human and mouse LIM-1. A truncated human isoform does not include this sequence. LIM-1 activity is controlled by interaction with the ubiquitous nuclear adaptor protein Ldb-1 (Lim-domain-binding protein-1) which binds the LIM domain and mediates dimerization. , , Applications: , Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry: 5-10ug/ml, ELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
