CDX2 antibody recognizes Caudal type homeobox 2, an intestine-specific nuclear transcription factor encoded by the human CDX2 gene. CDX2 antibody detects a key regulator of intestinal epithelial differentiation and maintenance that is localized to the nucleus and functions through sequence-specific DNA binding. CDX2 plays a central role in controlling gene expression programs required for development, identity, and homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells.
CDX2 antibody, also referred to as Caudal-related homeobox transcription factor 2 antibody and CDX-2 antibody in the literature, targets a member of the caudal-related homeobox gene family. The CDX2 protein contains a highly conserved homeodomain responsible for DNA binding and transcriptional activation of intestine-associated genes such as sucrase-isomaltase and other epithelial differentiation markers. Through these mechanisms, CDX2 maintains intestinal phenotype and supports epithelial barrier integrity.
The CDX2 gene is located on chromosome 13q12.2 and is normally expressed in nuclei of epithelial cells lining the small and large intestine. CDX2 expression is tightly regulated during embryonic development and remains largely restricted to intestinal epithelium in adult tissues. Because of its tissue-restricted pattern, CDX2 antibody is widely used in research settings as a marker of intestinal differentiation.
Aberrant CDX2 expression has been observed in gastrointestinal malignancies and certain extraintestinal tumors with intestinal differentiation. In colorectal carcinoma, CDX2 expression is commonly retained, whereas loss of CDX2 may be associated with tumor progression and poor differentiation. CDX2 antibody is therefore frequently utilized in studies examining intestinal lineage specification and colorectal tumor biology.
CDX2 participates in regulatory networks that coordinate epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance of intestinal architecture. Its transcriptional activity integrates signals from developmental and signaling pathways that shape intestinal morphogenesis and cellular identity.
Clone CDX2/4394R is a recombinant monoclonal antibody designed to target CDX2 protein in research applications. An antibody to CDX2 is suitable for detecting nuclear CDX2 expression and for investigating intestinal differentiation, developmental biology, and gastrointestinal tumor research.
Optimal dilution of the CDX2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant protein fragment from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the CDX2 antibody.
Store the CDX2 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
