Target Description: VSX1 contains a paired-like homeodomain and binds to the core of the locus control region of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster. VSX1 may regulate expression of the cone opsin genes early in development. Mutations in VSX1 can cause posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and keratoconus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.The protein encoded by this gene contains a paired-like homeodomain and binds to the core of the locus control region of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster.

Uniprot Description
VSX1: Binds to the 37-bp core of the locus control region (LCR) of the red/green visual pigment gene cluster. May regulate the activity of the LCR and the cone opsin genes at earlier stages of development. Defects in VSX1 are a cause of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy type 1 (PPCD1). PPCD1 is a slowly progressive hereditary disorder of the corneal endothelium that leads to a variable degree of visual impairment usually in adulthood. Defects in VSX1 are a cause of keratoconus type 1 (KTCN1). Keratoconus type 1 is a frequent corneal dystrophy with an incidence that varies from 50 to 230 per 100'000. The cornea assumes a conical shape as a result of a progressive non- inflammatory thinning of the corneal stroma. Keratoconus is most often an isolated sporadic condition with cases of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive transmission. Defects in VSX1 are the cause of craniofacial anomalies and anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome (CAASDS). CAASDS is a disorder with extremely variable expressivity. Clinical features include wide interpupillary distance, abnormal corneal endothelium, unusual pinnae, partially to completely empty sella turcica, posterior fossa cyst, anterior encephalocele, and/or hydrocephalus. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. 8 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The VSX1 vsx1 (Catalog #AAA3202815) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The VSX1 antibody - middle region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's VSX1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the VSX1 vsx1 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: LAGLWGSDHF KEGSSQSESG SQRGSDKVSP ENGLEDVAID LSSSARQETK. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "VSX1, 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
