General description

DAX-1 is an orphan nuclear receptor and is required for the normal development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-gonadal axis formation. Defects in DAX-1 are the cause of X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenital (XL-AHC); also known as X-linked Addison disease (AHX). DAX-1 also has a role in the development of the embryo and in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency by acting as a negative regulator of Oct3/4 in ES cells.

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to Human DAX-1 (amino acids 135-166).

Linkage

Replaces: 04-445

Physical form

Mouse monoclonal IgG1κ Ascites with 0.05% sodium azide.

Unpurified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in a Dax-1 overexpressing HEK293 transfected cell line. Western Blot Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected DAX-1 in a DAX-1 overexpressing HEK293 transfected cell line.
