Anti-Hex Antibody
Background: Hematopoietically-expressed homeobox protein HHEX is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HHEX gene. Homeobox genes are members of a family of transcription factors that regulate tissue development in many different organisms. Hromas et al. (1993) set out to identify homeobox genes that might play a role in hematopoiesis. And using somatic cell hybrid analysis, they mapped the HHEX gene to chromosome 10, where the HOX11 gene is located. Homeobox genes are involved in neoplastic transformation of both epithelial and hemopoietic tissues. The divergent homeobox gene HEX is expressed in the anterior visceral endoderm during early mouse development and in some adult tissues of endodermal origin, including liver and thyroid. D'Elia et al.'s findings suggested that regulation of HEX entry in the nucleus of thyrocytes may represent a critical step during human thyroid tumorigenesis.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the homeobox family of transcription factors, many of which are involved in developmental processes. Expression in specific hematopoietic lineages suggests that this protein may play a role in hematopoietic differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
HHEX: Recognizes the DNA sequence 5'-ATTAA-3'. Transcriptional repressor. May play a role in hematopoietic differentiation. Establishes anterior identity at two levels; acts early to enhance canonical WNT-signaling by repressing expression of TLE4, and acts later to inhibit NODAL-signaling by directly targeting NODAL.

Product Notes
The Hex hhex (Catalog #AAA178143) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Hex Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Hex can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot Concentration: 0.1-0.5ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Hex hhex 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 "Hex, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
