This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-Pdx1 Antibody. It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
Pdx1 activates insulin and somatostatin gene transcription. It is a key regulator of islet peptide hormone expression but also responsible for the development of the pancreas, most probably by determining maturation and differentiation of common pancreatic precursor cells in the developing gut. It binds the DNA sequence 5'-CC[CT]TAATGGG-3'.
Alias Symbols: IDX-1, IPF-1, Ipf1, Mody4, STF-1, pdx-1
