Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Forkhead proteins are transcription factors that contain a DNA binding motif, winged helix, called a forkhead box. These proteins regulate genes involved in major cell processes such as embryonic development, cell proliferation and differentiation. Forkhead box Q1 (FOXQ1) is involved in the regulation of epithelial differentiation by promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a normal process that also supports cancer invasion and metastasis._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ Anti-FOXQ1 (AB2) polyclonal antibody reacts with human forkhead box Q1 proteins._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human FOXQ1_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-FOXQ1 (AB2) polyclonal antibody is used to tag forkhead box Q1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the possible roles of forkhead box Q1 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) both in normal and cancer cells where EMT promotes invasion and metastasis._x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Western Blotting (1 paper)_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ FOXQ1 contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain.
