Anti-NKX2-1, NT (NKX2-1, NKX2A, TITF1, TTF1, Homeobox protein Nkx-2.1, Homeobox protein NK-2 homolog

This gene encodes a protein initially identified as a thyroid-specific transcription factor. The encoded protein binds to thyroglobulin promoter and regulates the expression of thyroid-specific genes but has also been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in morphogenesis. Mutations and deletions in this gene are associated with benign hereditary chorea, choreoathetosis, congenital hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress, and may be associated with thyroid cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Flow Cytometry and ELISA. Other applications have not been tested. , Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000, Flow Cytometry: 1:25, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
