Description: Activates insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet amyloid polypeptide and glucose transporter type 2 gene transcription. Particularly involved in glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene transcription. As part of a PDX1:PBX1b:MEIS2b complex in pancreatic acinar cells is involved in the transcriptional activation of the ELA1 enhancer; the complex binds to the enhancer B element and cooperates with the transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) bound to the enhancer A element. Binds preferentially the DNA motif 5'-[CT]TAAT[TG]-3'. During development, specifies the early pancreatic epithelium, permitting its proliferation, branching and subsequent differentiation. At adult stage, required for maintaining the hormone-producing phenotype of the beta-cell.
Immunogen: This PDX1 antibody was produced from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 21-55 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human PDX1.
Storage: Aliquot the PDX1 antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
