Other Names | Pancreas/duodenum homeobox protein 1, Insulin promoter factor 1, IPF-1, Islet/duodenum homeobox 1, IDX-1, Somatostatin-transactivating factor 1, STF-1, Pdx1, Ipf1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence is selected from aa 136-149 of HUMAN Pdx1 |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | Pdx1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | Ipf1 |
Function | Activates insulin and somatostatin gene transcription. Key regulator of islet peptide hormone expression but also responsible for the development of the pancreas, most probably by determining maturation and differentiation of common pancreatic precursor cells in the developing gut. As part of a PDX1:PBX1b:MEIS2b complex in pancreatic acinar cells is involved in the transcriptional activation of the ELA1 enhancer; the complex binds to the enhancer B element and cooperates with the transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) bound to the enhancer A element. Binds the DNA sequence 5'-CC[CT]TAATGGG-3'. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00108, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17052199}. Cytoplasm, cytosol |
Tissue Location | Duodenum and pancreas (Langerhans islet beta cells and small subsets of endocrine non-beta-cells, at low levels in acinar cells) |
