A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of PAX8 antibody, Alternative Names: PAX8 control peptide, PAX8 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-PAX8 Blocking Peptide, Paired Box Gene 8 Blocking Peptide, PAX8, PAX-8, PAX 8, PAX-8 Blocking Peptide, PAX 8 Blocking Peptide
PAX8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of this family typically contain a paired box domain, an octapeptide, and a paired-type homeodomain. This nuclear protein is involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes. Mutations in its gene have been associated with thyroid dysgenesis, thyroid follicular carcinomas and atypical follicular thyroid adenomas.
