General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-13529) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human PAX3, targeting the amino acid region 341–426 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human PAX3 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. PAX3, a transcription factor and multifunctional regulatory protein, is normally expressed during embryonic development. In the nervous system, PAX3 is involved in neural tube closure, neural crest development, and peripheral neuron differentiation. In the present study, PAX3 was reported as a novel regulator of GFAP transcription, and the overexpression and suppression of PAX3 could inhibit and promote NSC differentiation, respectively. In muscle development, PAX3 ensures the survival of myogenic progenitor cells with Pax3-expressing progenitors giving rise to both skeletal and smooth muscle cells. PAX3 also has a well-established role in the development of melanocytes during embryogenesis, and has recently been characterized as a molecular switch in the mature melanocyte. Mutations in PAX3 can cause Waardenburg syndrome.
DPABH-13529 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:1,000–1:4,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate) applications.
DPABH-13529 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
