General description

FOXA1 (HNF3A, Hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha) is member of the Forkhead family of winged-helix transcription factors. It is known to be involved in the development and differentiation of several organs including liver, kidney, pancreas, lung, prostate and mammary gland (Lupien, 2008). High expression of FOXA1 is often seen in tumors arising from both the prostate and breast where it is believed to interact with either the androgen receptor or estrogen receptor α, in each of the tumor type respectively (Lupien, 2008). In the case of ER, FOXA1 has gained notice because of its interactions with the cis-regulatory regions in heterochromatin and because it enhances the interaction of ER with chromatin (Badve, 2007).

Specificity

Other species have not been tested.
This antibody detects human FOXA1 (HNF3α).

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
Recombinant human GST-FOXA1 protein encompassing amino acids 7-86.

Application

Immunohistochemisty:
Independent labs have verified this clone to work in paraffin-embedded IHC (IH(P)) of various mouse tissues including both embryonic and adult brain, adult digestive tract, adult respiratory tract, and adult urinary tract. Staining was performed using the antibody at a 1:2,000 dilution, but dilutions and conditions must be user optimized.

Neurons reprogramme encephalitogenic T cells (Tenc) to regulatory T cells (Tregs), either FoxP3+Tregs or FoxA1+Tregs. We reported previously that neuronal ability to generate FoxA1+Tregs was central to preventing neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mice lacking interferon (IFN)-β were defective
