SOX9 Antibody recognizes Transcription factor SOX-9, encoded by the SOX9 gene and commonly referred to as SRY-box 9. SOX-9 is a nuclear transcription factor belonging to the SRY-related HMG-box family and functions as a central regulator of lineage specification and organ development. SOX9 Antibody detects a DNA-binding protein that localizes to the nucleus and directs gene expression programs required for cartilage formation, gonadal differentiation, and epithelial progenitor maintenance.
SOX-9 contains a conserved high mobility group DNA-binding domain that enables sequence-specific binding to regulatory elements and induces bending of target DNA. This structural feature facilitates recruitment of transcriptional co-activators and chromatin remodeling complexes, promoting activation of genes involved in differentiation and morphogenesis. The SOX9 gene is located on chromosome 17 and is tightly regulated during embryogenesis and tissue remodeling.
In skeletal development, SOX-9 is essential for commitment of mesenchymal cells to the chondrocyte lineage. It activates expression of extracellular matrix genes such as collagen type II and aggrecan, supporting cartilage matrix synthesis and growth plate development. Disruption of SOX9 function results in severe skeletal abnormalities, including campomelic dysplasia, underscoring its critical developmental role.
SOX-9 also plays a key role in male sex determination by promoting Sertoli cell differentiation during gonadal development. Beyond embryonic processes, SOX-9 expression persists in epithelial progenitor populations in tissues such as pancreas, bile ducts, lung, and intestine, where it contributes to regeneration and tissue maintenance. In oncology research, SOX9 expression has been associated with tumor cell plasticity and stem-like characteristics in several carcinoma types.
SOX9 Antibody (clone SOX9/2398) is suitable for detecting SOX-9 protein expression in research applications examining development, differentiation, and transcriptional regulation in normal and disease contexts.
Optimal dilution of the SOX9/Transcription factor SOX-9 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
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 portion of amino acids 393-508 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the SOX9/Transcription factor SOX-9 antibody.
Store the SOX9/Transcription factor SOX-9 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
