Recombinant PAX8 antibody recognizes PAX8, a nuclear transcription factor encoded by the PAX8 gene and a critical regulator of epithelial differentiation and organ development. PAX8 belongs to the paired box family of transcription factors characterized by a conserved paired DNA-binding domain that mediates sequence-specific transcriptional control. PAX8 is essential for normal development of the thyroid gland, kidney, and Mullerian system, making it a widely studied marker in epithelial lineage research.
During embryogenesis, PAX8 contributes to specification and maturation of thyroid follicular cells and renal epithelial structures. In the thyroid, PAX8 regulates genes involved in hormone synthesis and follicular differentiation, while in the kidney it supports nephric epithelial identity. In Mullerian-derived tissues, including fallopian tube and endometrium, PAX8 participates in epithelial development and maintenance. Detection of PAX8 therefore reflects lineage commitment in these specialized epithelial compartments.
PAX8 protein localizes to the nucleus, consistent with its role as a transcription factor. In adult tissues, expression is maintained in thyroid follicular epithelium, renal tubular epithelial cells, and Mullerian epithelium. Outside of these tissues, expression is limited, supporting its value as a selective epithelial lineage marker. In tumor biology research, PAX8 expression is frequently retained in renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, and ovarian and endometrial carcinomas derived from Mullerian epithelium. Because of this distribution, PAX8 antibody is commonly used in studies examining tumor differentiation and tissue origin.
The PAX8 gene is located on chromosome 2q14 and generates multiple isoforms through alternative splicing. Altered expression and gene rearrangements involving PAX8 have been associated with thyroid and other epithelial neoplasms. Recombinant PAX8 antibody clone PAX8/2774R is a rabbit monoclonal antibody developed to detect PAX8 in research applications. As a recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone PAX8/2774R supports consistent nuclear detection of PAX8 protein in studies of developmental biology, epithelial differentiation, and tumor lineage analysis.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the recombinant PAX8 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
A human recombinant fragment (aa 60-261) was used as the immunogen for the recombinant PAX8 antibody.
Store the recombinant PAX8 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
