Immunohistochemistry analysis of PAX8 antibody in human thyroid tissue. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human thyroid sections were stained with Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody (clone PAX8/12570). Diffuse HRP-DAB brown nuclear staining is observed in thyroid follicular epithelial cells lining the follicles, consistent with nuclear localization of Paired box gene 8. The staining is confined to nuclei with preservation of follicular architecture and sparing of colloid material within the follicular lumens. Surrounding stromal components show minimal background signal. Inset: PBS was used in place of the primary antibody as a negative control. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95oC followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Description

Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody recognizes PAX8, a nuclear transcription factor encoded by the PAX8 gene and a key regulator of thyroid epithelial differentiation. PAX8 is a member of the paired box family of transcription factors and plays an essential role in thyroid gland development and function. Because of its central involvement in thyroid lineage specification, PAX8 antibody is widely used in research focused on thyroid biology and thyroid-derived tumors.

PAX8 contains a conserved paired DNA-binding domain that enables regulation of genes critical for follicular cell differentiation. In thyroid epithelial cells, PAX8 activates transcription of genes required for thyroid hormone biosynthesis, including thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase. This transcriptional activity supports maintenance of differentiated follicular cell phenotype and hormone production. Detection of PAX8 therefore reflects functional thyroid lineage identity.

Although strongly associated with the thyroid, PAX8 expression is also present in renal tubular epithelial cells and in tissues derived from the Mullerian duct, including the fallopian tube and endometrium. In these tissues, PAX8 contributes to epithelial differentiation and developmental regulation. The protein localizes to the nucleus, consistent with its role as a transcription factor. In pathologic contexts, PAX8 expression is frequently retained in thyroid carcinomas, renal cell carcinomas, and Mullerian-derived tumors, supporting its value in studies evaluating tumor origin and epithelial lineage commitment.

The PAX8 gene is located on chromosome 2q14 and produces multiple isoforms through alternative splicing. Gene rearrangements and dysregulated expression of PAX8 have been implicated in thyroid neoplasia and other malignancies. Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody clone PAX8/12570 is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed to detect PAX8 in research applications. Clone PAX8/12570 supports consistent nuclear detection of PAX8 in tissues relevant to thyroid differentiation, renal epithelial biology, and Mullerian-derived tumors.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Immunogen

A recombinant fragment (around amino acids 50-300) of human PAX8 protein (exact sequence is proprietary) was used as the immunogen for the Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody.

Storage

Thyroid Transcription Factor PAX8 antibody with sodium azide - store at 2 to 8oC; antibody without sodium azide - store at -20 to -80oC.
