General description

Paired box protein Pax-2 (UniProt Q02962; also known as Paired box homeotic gene 2) is encoded by the PAX2 (also known as FSGS7, PAPRS) gene (Gene ID 5076) in human. Pax-2 belongs to the family of transcription factors with conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. The family of paired box (PAX) genes is divided into four subgroups (I–IV). Genes in subgroups II (PAX2, PAX5, and PAX8) and III (PAX3 and PAX7) have been implicated in tumor development. PAX2 is a critical regulator of embryogenesis and it is normally expressed in the pancreas and in subpopulations of nodal lymphocytes in adult tissues. Aberrant PAX2 expression is frequently observed in several cancer types.

Immunogen

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in A431 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution of this antibody detected PAX-2 in 10 µg of A431 cell lysate.

Specificity

Clone 4C2.2 is expected to react with spliced Pax-2 isoform 1 and isoform 2 (Fetal kidney isoform). Reactivity toward isoforms 3&4 has not been tested.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
