General description

DAX-1 is an orphan nuclear receptor and is required for the normal development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-gonadal axis formation. Defects in DAX-1 are the cause of X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenital (XL-AHC); also known as X-linked Addison disease (AHX). DAX-1 also has a role in the development of the embryo and in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency by acting as a negative regulator of Oct3/4 in ES cells.

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to Human DAX-1 (amino acids 135-166).

Application

Anti-DAX-1, clone 2F4, has been shown to work in Immunocytochemical (Lehmann et al., 2009) and Immunohistochemical (Ehrlund et al., 2013) analysis.
Research Category
Stem Cell Research
Research Sub Category
Pluripotent & Early Differentiation
This Anti-DAX-1, clone 2F4 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting and Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry for the detection of DAX-1.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in a Dax-1 overexpressing HEK293 transfected cell line. Western Blot Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected DAX-1 in a DAX-1 overexpressing HEK293 transfected cell line.

In recent studies, we have found that DAX-1 (dosage-sensitive sex reversal/adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome) is expressed in the mouse mammary epithelial cell line HC11. In this study, we focused on the regulation of DAX-1 expression

Mutations in the human DAX-1 gene lead to X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. DAX-1 has been proposed to play a role in steroidogenesis because it is highly expressed in adrenocortical and testicular Leydig cells and because loss-of-function mutations

Genetic and experimental evidence points to a critical involvement of the atypical mammalian orphan receptor DAX-1 in reproductive development and steroidogenesis. Unlike conventional nuclear receptors, DAX-1 appears not to function as a DNA-bound transcription factor. Instead, it has acquired the
