Anti-DLX5 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Distal-less homeobox 5 (DLX5) plays a role as a mediator in immediate-early bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-induced runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) (up regulated by DLX2) expression and as a responsive transcriptional activator essential for osteoblast differentiation. Msh homeobox 2 (MSX2) and DLX5 bind to the promoters of osteoblast markers, thus helping to carry out transcription. It is involved as a positive regulator of both chondrogenesis and chondrocyte hypertrophy in the endochondral skeleton. DLX5 stimulates Alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) promoter activity in a RUNX2-independent manner during osteoblast differentiation and also stimulates SP7 transcription factor (SP7) promoter activity. This is done by binding to the homeodomain-response element of the ALPL and SP7 promoter. It promotes cell proliferation by binding and up-regulating the MYC promoter activity. For this, DLX5 requires the 5′-TAATTA-3′ consensus sequence to bind to the DNA.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
