Synonyms: Anti-HLX1; Anti-Homeobox protein HB24; Anti-Homeobox protein HLX1
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: H2.0-like homeobox protein is a protein encoded by the HLX gene in humans. It is referred as HB24 and HLX1. It is expressed in proliferating and migrating human trophoblast cells. Its expression is found to decreased significantly in human FGR. It regulates human trophoblast-derived cell migration, and that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), by receptor c-met, acts through this gene to control cell migration. Polymorphisms in the this gene increase the risk for childhood asthma. It is primarily expressed in cytotrophoblast cell types in the human placenta and is involved in cytotrophoblast proliferation and down-regulation of cell differentiation.
