HNF1 homeobox B (hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox B), also known as HNF1B or transcription factor 2 (TCF2), is a human gene. It is a member of the homeodomain-containing superfamily of transcription factors. This gene is mapped to 17q12. The HNF1B protein is believed to form heterodimers with another liver-specific member of this transcription factor family, TCF1. HNF1B functions as both a classic transcriptional activator and as a bookmarking factor that marks target genes for rapid transcriptional reactivation after mitosis. HNF1B also can regulate renal tubulogenesis by controlling expression of SOC3. Mutation of HNF1B that disrupts normal function has been identified as the cause of MODY5 (Maturity-Onset of Diabetes, Type 5).

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 0.5-1ug/ml, boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 20 mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
