Scientific Data Images for NKX6.1 Antibody

Detection of Mouse NKX6.1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Mouse NKX6.1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of beta TC-6 mouse beta cell insulinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse NKX6.1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5857) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for NKX6.1 at approximately 46 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
NKX6 by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).1 antibody in Human Pancreas by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

NKX6.1 in Human Pancreas.

NKX6.1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse NKX6.1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5857) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Mouse NKX6.1 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Mouse NKX6.1 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of beta TC-6 mouse beta cell insulinoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for NKX6.1 at approximately 54 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse NKX6.1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5857) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background: NKX6.1

NKX6.1 (NK homeobox factor 6.1; also NKX6A) is a 39‑46 kDa member of the homeodomain family of transcription factors. It is expressed in embryonic ventral neural tube where it drives neural progenitors to form motoneurons and V2-type interneurons. It is also expressed in both fetal and neonatal pancreas where it promotes a beta -cell phenotype. NKX6.1 exhibits both transcriptional gene repression (NKX6.2 and Dbx2) and activation (cyclin A2 and B1). When overexpressed, it induces beta -cell mitosis. Human NKX6.1 is 367 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a repressor region composed of Pro and Ala (aa 136‑173), a DNA binding homeobox (aa 236‑295) and a Glu:Asp‑rich transactivation domain (aa 305‑337). Over aa 1‑120, human NKX6.1 shares 96% aa identity with mouse NKX6.1.
