MEIS1 Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Homeobox genes, of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes, play a crucial role in normal development. In addition, several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. This gene encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
MEIS1: Acts as a transcriptional regulator of PAX6. Acts as a transcriptional activator of PF4 in complex with PBX1 or PBX2. Required for hematopoiesis, megakaryocyte lineage development and vascular patterning. May function as a cofactor for HOXA7 and HOXA9 in the induction of myeloid leukemias. Defects in MEIS1 could be a cause of susceptibility to restless legs syndrome type 7 (RLS7). Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurologic sleep/wake disorder characterized by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs that appear at rest, usually at night, inducing an irresistible desire to move the legs. The disorder results in nocturnal insomnia and chronic sleep deprivation. Belongs to the TALE/MEIS homeobox family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The MEIS1 meis1 (Catalog #AAA425732) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MEIS1 Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Cow and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: C-SEDITRSA NLTDQ. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEIS1, 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
