Description: The expression pattern of Prox1 suggests that it has a role in a variety of embryonic tissues, including lens. Prox mRNA is present in many different human tissues with lens demonstrating the highest level. Homozygous Prox1-null mice die at midgestation from multiple developmental defects, and a targeted effect on lens development has been reported. Prox1 inactivation caused abnormal cellular proliferation, downregulated expression of the cell cycle inhibitors Cdkn1b and Cdkn1c, misexpression of E-cadherin, and excessive apoptosis. Consequently, mutant lens cells failed to polarize and elongate properly, resulting in a hollow lens.
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 492-522 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this PROX1 antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the PROX1 antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
