Retina and anterior neural fold homeobox protein, Retinal homeobox protein Rx

Function: Plays a critical role in eye formation by regulating the initial specification of retinal cells and/or their subsequent proliferation. Binds to the photoreceptor conserved element-I (PCE-1/Ret 1) in the photoreceptor cell-specific arrestin promoter. Defects in RAX are the cause of microphthalmia isolated type 3 (MCOP3). Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues. Ocular abnormalities like opacities of the cornea and lens, scaring of the retina and choroid, cataractand other abnormalities like cataract may also be present.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in the developing eye and weakly expressed in the adult retina.
Subcellular location: Nucleus

Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

12 months after reconstitution

This item will be shipped to you at ambient temperature in a lyophilised form.
