Anti-PAX6, clone 7H10.D3.D4.G5

Anti-PAX6 was purified from clarified ascites by Protein A chromatography.  Cross-reactivity with PAX6 from other sources has not been determined. Protein function: Transcription factor with important functions in the development of the eye, nose, central nervous system and pancreas. Required for the differentiation of pancreatic islet alpha cells. Competes with PAX4 in binding to a common element in the glucagon, insulin and somatostatin promoters. Regulates specification of the ventral neuron subtypes by establishing the correct progenitor domains. Isoform 5a appears to function as a molecular switch that specifies target genes.
