SOX10/Melanocytic Lineage Antibody recognizes SOX10, a nuclear transcription factor that regulates development and maintenance of melanocytes and peripheral glial cells. Encoded by the SOX10 gene, this HMG-box transcription factor binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner and orchestrates gene expression networks critical for neural crest-derived cell differentiation. SOX10 expression is essential for melanocyte specification during embryogenesis, acting upstream of MITF and influencing pigmentation-related genes involved in melanin production and melanocyte survival. In addition to its role in melanocyte biology, SOX10 regulates Schwann cell differentiation and peripheral nerve myelination, supporting glial maturation programs. In adult tissues, SOX10 expression is largely restricted to melanocytes within the basal epidermis and hair follicles and to Schwann cells along peripheral nerves, producing a characteristic nuclear staining pattern when detected by SOX10 antibody. This lineage specificity makes SOX10 antibody a powerful tool in dermatopathology and tumor biology research. SOX10 expression is frequently observed in melanoma and is considered a sensitive nuclear marker for melanocytic differentiation. It is also detected in clear cell sarcoma and certain peripheral nerve sheath tumors, reflecting their neural crest origin. In some carcinomas, including subsets of breast and salivary gland tumors, SOX10 expression may be associated with basal or myoepithelial phenotypes. Dysregulated SOX10 activity has been implicated in tumor progression, cellular plasticity, and invasive properties in melanoma. Melanocytic Lineage Antibody targeting SOX10 is therefore suitable for detecting nuclear SOX10 expression in immunohistochemistry and related research assays, supporting investigations in pigmentation biology, neural crest development, and oncologic research.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the SOX10/Melanocytic Lineage 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.
Amino acids 115-269 of the human protein were used as the immunogen for the SOX10/Melanocytic Lineage antibody.
Store the SOX10/Melanocytic Lineage antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
