| Homeobox protein Hox A9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HOXA9 gene. In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. This gene is highly similar to the abdominal-B (Abd-B) gene of Drosophila. A specific translocation event which causes a fusion between this gene and the NUP98 gene has been associated with myeloid leukemogenesis. |

| Catalog # | H7023 |
| Applications | Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and EMSA Complex Ablation. Other applications not tested. |
| Recommended Dilution | Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml. Detects Hox A9 in C2C12 cell lysates treated with PV. C2C12 cell lysates treated with PV were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF and probed with H7023. Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit IgG labeled with HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. |
| Immunofluorescence: Detects Hox A9 in fixed cells. |
| EMSA Complex Ablation: Disrupts DNA-protein complexes containing Hox A9 in EMSA. |
| Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. |
| Recommended Secondary Antibodies | I1904-39: IgG, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt x Rb |
| I1904-40A: IgG, H&L, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt x Rb I1904-46Q: IgG, H&L (HRP) Pab Gt x Rb |
