Anti-PAX7, clone PBPX7

1 mg/ml in sterile PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. The Pax gene family of nuclear transcription factors is comprised of nine members that function during embryogenesis to regulate the temporal and position-dependent differentiation of cells. Pax-7 is a protein specifically expressed in cultured satellite cell-derived myoblasts. In situ hybridization reveals that Pax-7 is also expressed in satellite cells residing in adult muscle. A chromosomal aberration in the gene encoding Pax-7 causes rhabdomyosarcoma 2 (RMS2) (also called alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma). Protein function: Transcription factor playing a role in myogenesis through regulation of muscle precursor cells proliferation. [The UniProt Consortium]
