Rabbit LHX4 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-LHX4 antibody
Anti-LHX4 Antibody
IHC: 1:50-1:200
Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of LHX4 expression in mouse brain (A), rat brain (B) whole cell lysates.)
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Immunohistochemical analysis of LHX4 staining in human kidney cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of a large protein family which contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor involved in the control of differentiation and development of the pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 4.

Uniprot Description
LHX4: May play a critical role in the development of respiratory control mechanisms and in the normal growth and maturation of the lung. Defects in LHX4 are the cause of pituitary hormone deficiency combined type 4 (CPHD4); also known as short stature pituitary and cerebellar defects and small sella turcica. The disorder is characterized by short stature, pituitary and cerebellar defects, and small transverse depression crossing the midline on the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid bone which houses the pituitary gland. A chromosomal aberration involving LHX4 may be a cause of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Translocation t(1;14)(q25;q32) with IGHG1.
