Anti-Pax-2 Antibody, clone 4C2.2

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.

~45 kDa observed. ~45 kDa observed. Isoform 1 (44.7 kDa calculated); Isoform 2 (44.5 kDa calculated). An uncharacterized band ~17 kDa is seen in some lysate samples.
