Anti-PAX2 (Renal Cell & Ovarian Carcinoma Marker) (PAX2/1104), CF640R conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

This antibody recognizes a protein of 42 kDa, which is identified as PAX2. It is a member of the paired box family of transcription factors, which is required for development and proliferation of the kidney, brain, and Müllerian organs. PAX2 genes contain a highly conserved DNA sequence within the paired box region, which encodes a DNA-binding domain, enabling PAX proteins to bind the promoters of specific genes to transcriptionally regulate their expression. PAX2 is specifically expressed in the developing central nervous system, eye, ear, and urogenital tract, and is essential for the development of these organs. In normal adult tissues PAX2 was mainly detected in the urogenital system, including kidney, ureteric epithelium, fallopian tube epithelium, ovary and uterus. In tumors, PAX2 has been detected in renal cell carcinomas, Wilms' tumors, nephrogenic adenomas and papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary. PAX2 has been used as a marker for the identification of renal cell carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma by immunohistochemistry. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF(R) Dyes and other labels. CF(R) Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF(R)405S and CF(R)405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors. Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL Storage buffer: PBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% azide
