Anti-PROP1 (Homeobox Protein Prophet of Pit-1, PROP-1, Pituitary-specific Homeodomain Factor)

PROP1 has both DNA-binding and transcriptional activation ability. Its expression leads to ontogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes, as well as somatotropes, lactotropes, and caudomedial thyrotropes. Inactivating mutations in PROP1 result in deficiencies of luteinizing hormone (LH, MIM 152780), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH, MIM 136530), growth hormone (GH, MIM 139250), prolactin (PRL, MIM 176760), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, MIM 188540). See combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD, MIM 262600). Applications: Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, 11c7entrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
