Target/Specificity | EMX1; At least two isoforms of EMX1 are known to exist; this antibody will detect the longer isoform. EMX1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other EMX family members. |
Reconstitution & Storage | EMX1 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
Precautions | EMX1 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | EMX1 (HGNC:3340) |
---|---|
Function | Transcription factor, which in cooperation with EMX2, acts to generate the boundary between the roof and archipallium in the developing brain. May function in combinations with OTX1/2 to specify cell fates in the developing central nervous system. |

Background
EMX1 Antibody: EMX1 is a homeobox transcription factor involved in specifying cell fates in the developing central nervous system and it participates in the development of olfactory neurons. EMX1 is specifically expressed in the developing telencephalic cortex expression, where epxression is restricted to pyramidal neurons. EMX1 is a reliable marker of pyramidal neurons and pyramidal cell lineage. EMX1 has been shown to be one of the downstream target genes for Gli-Kruppel family member 3 (Gli3) transcription factor, which is a part of the Sonic hedgehog-Patched-Gli signaling pathway important in endocrine signaling.
