AHP2029 specifically recognises an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human FOXC1, otherwise known as Forkhead box C1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, shown to be involved in the development of the eye.
Studies have shown that FOXC1 plays an important role in the regulation of the FGF19-FGFR4-MAPK pathway involved in the maintenance of anterior segment structures within the eye. Studies have also shown that FOXC1 is essential for the aggressive phenotype of basal-like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), for which FOXC1 may prove to be a valuable diagnostic marker. Mutations in the FOXC1 gene are responsible for various ocular abnormalities including Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS), iridogoniodysgenesis anomaly (IGDA), and Peters anomaly.

This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections. Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 is recommended for this purpose.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP2029 detects a band of approximately 55kDa in human bone marrow cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human FOXC1 (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
