Application

Rabbit Anti-NPAS1 antibody can be used for western blotting at 2µg/ml. It can also be used for IHC at 4-8µg/ml, using paraffin-embedded tissues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NPAS1 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. Studies of a related mouse gene suggest that it functions in neurons. The exact function of this gene is unclear, but it may play protective or modulatory roles during late embryogenesis and postnatal development.

General description

NPAS1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that that regulates branching morphogenesis in mouse embryonic lung tissues. Studies in mice have reported that NPAS1 deficiency can result in behavioural and functional abnormalities.Rabbit Anti-NPAS1 antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat NPAS1.
