Detects a band of approximately 44 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 44 kDa). IHC-Fr 1/100. ICC/IF Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. 1 Target Relevance Pax2 is a transcription factor critically required during the development of the nervous and excretory systems, including the midbrain, hindbrain, spinal cord, eye, ear and urogenital tract. Like other products of the Pax gene family, Pax2 encodes a conserved 128 amino acid paired box DNA-binding domain in the N-terminal portion of the molecule. Function: Probable transcription factor that may have a role in kidney cell differentiation. Has a critical role in the development of the urogenital tract, the eyes, and the CNS. Tissue specificity: Expressed in primitive cells of the kidney, ureter, eye, ear and central nervous system. Cellular localization Nuclear Anti-Pax2 antibody images Anti-Pax2 antibody (ab38738) IHC-Fr image of Pax2 staining on zebrafish retina sections using ab38738 (1:100). The sections were paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using Triton-X. Antigen retrieval was performed using Tris-HCl and blocking was perfomed using 5% BSA for 1 hour at 23°C. ab38738 was diluted 1:100 and incubated with the sections for 16 hours at 4°C. The secondary antibody was goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (1:1000).

Secondary Western blot - Anti-Pax2 antibody (ab38738) Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) preadsorbed at 1/50000 dilution developed using the ECL technique Performed under reducing conditions. Predicted band size : 44 kDa Observed band size : 44 kDa Additional bands at : 17 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands. Exposure time : 8 minutes This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bistris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab38738 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406. 3 All lanes : Anti-Pax2 antibody (ab38738) at 1/250 dilution Lane 1 : Mouse Fetal lysate - 14 Days old Tissue Lysate Lane 2 : Brain (Mouse) Tissue Lysate - 0 days old (ab7188) Lane 3 : Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast 1 Whole Cell Lysate Lane 4 : Skeletal Muscle (Mouse) Tissue Lysate (ab29711) Western blot - Pax2 antibody (ab38738) Lysates/proteins at 10 µg per lane.
