Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThe homeodomain-containing transcription factor NKX3A is a putative prostate tumor suppressor that is expressed in a largely prostate-specific and androgen-regulated manner. Loss of NKX3A protein expression is a common finding in human prostate carcinomas and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.[supplied by OMIM]
Gene Symbol
  • NKX3-1
  • NKX3A
  • NKX3.1
  • BAPX2
  • NKX3
UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q99801 # Transcription factor, which binds preferentially the consensus sequence 5'-TAAGT[AG]-3' and can behave as a transcriptional repressor. Could play an important role in regulating proliferation of glandular epithelium and in the formation of ducts in prostate.
SIZE: 234 amino acids; 26350 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with serum response factor (SRF) (By similarity). Interacts with SPDEF.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the prostate and, at a lower level, in the testis.
DISEASE:SwissProt: Q99801 # NKX3-1 has been thought to be one of the target gene of the 8p21 loss of heterozygosity, common in prostate cancer, but neither disruption of the coding region of the gene, nor mutations have been found in prostate cancer.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q99801 ## Belongs to the NK-3 homeobox family. & Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.

Storage and Shipping Information
Storage ConditionsMaintain unopened vial at -70°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

PREPARATION AND USE:

To reconstitute the antibody, centrifuge the antibody vial at moderate speed (5,000 rpm) for 5 minutes to pellet the precipitated antibody product. Carefully remove the ammonium sulfate/PBS buffer solution and discard. It is not necessary to remove all of the ammonium sulfate/PBS solution: 10 μL of residual ammonium sulfate solution will not affect the resuspension of the antibody. Do not let the protein pellet dry, as severe loss of antibody reactivity can occur.

Resuspend the antibody pellet in a suitable biological buffer such as PBS or TBS (pH 7.3-7.5) to a final concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. For example, to achieve a 1.0 mg/mL concentration with 50 μg of precipitated antibody, the amount of buffer needed would be 50 μL.

Carefully add the liquid buffer to the pellet. DO NOT VORTEX. Mix by gentle stirring with a wide pipet tip or gentle finger-tapping. Let the precipitated antibody rehydrate for 1 hour at 4-25°C prior to use. Small particles of precipitated antibody that fail to resuspend are normal. Vials are overfilled to compensate for any losses.

The rehydrated antibody solutions can be stored undiluted at 2-8°C for 2 months without any significant loss of activity. Note, the solution is not sterile, thus care should be taken if product is stored at 2-8°C.

For storage at -20°C, the addition of an equal volume of glycerol can be used, however, it is recommended that ACS grade or higher glycerol be used, as significant loss of activity can occur if the glycerol used is not of high quality.

For long-term storage at -70°C, it is recommended that the rehydrated antibody solution be further diluted 1:1 with a 2% BSA (fraction V, highest-grade available) solution made with the rehydration buffer. The resulting 1% BSA/antibody solution can be aliquoted and stored frozen at -70°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
