HOPX blocking peptide
HOPX Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a homeodomain protein that lacks certain conserved residues required for DNA binding. It was reported that choriocarcinoma cell lines and tissues failed to express this gene, which suggested the possible involvement of this gene in malignant conversion of placental trophoblasts. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may interact with serum response factor (SRF) and modulate SRF-dependent cardiac-specific gene expression and cardiac development. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
Uniprot Description
HOPX: Atypical homeodomain protein which does not bind DNA and is required to modulate cardiac growth and development. Acts via its interaction with SRF, thereby modulating the expression of SRF-dependent cardiac-specific genes and cardiac development. Prevents SRF-dependent transcription either by inhibiting SRF binding to DNA or by recruiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins that prevent transcription by SRF. Overexpression causes cardiac hypertrophy. May act as a tumor suppressor. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Oncoprotein; DNA-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q12
Cellular Component: nucleus
Molecular Function: DNA binding
Biological Process: negative regulation of cell differentiation; positive regulation of skeletal muscle regeneration; transcription, DNA-dependent; heart development; regulation of protein binding; histone deacetylation; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; positive regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation; alveolus development; regulation of heart contraction; trophectodermal cell differentiation

Product Notes
The HOPX hopx (Catalog #AAA153911) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's HOPX can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). HOPX peptide is used for blocking the activity of HOPX antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HOPX hopx for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HOPX, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
