Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in human, rat, mouse and chicken. It is expected to have wide species cross reactivity. Biological Significance: Prox1 (Prospero-related homeobox 1) is a divergent homeogene that regulates cell proliferation, fate determination and differentiation during vertebrate embryonic development. The protein is expressed in the developing lens and is also detected in embryonic brain, lung, liver and kidney; while in adult it is more abundant in heart and liver than in brain, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas (Chen et al., 2006). Prox1 is thought to play a fundamental role in early development of the CNS and may regulate gene expression and development of postmitotic undifferentiated young neurons (Misra et al., 2008)

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the homeobox transcription factor family. Members of this family contain a homeobox domain that consists of a 60-amino acid helix-turn-helix structure that binds DNA and RNA. The protein encoded by this gene is conserved across vertebrates and may play an essential role during development. Altered levels of this protein have been reported in cancers of different organs, such as colon, brain, blood, breast, pancreas, liver and esophagus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
uniprot summary :
Function: May play a fundamental role in early development of CNS. May regulate gene expression and development of postmitotic undifferentiated young neurons . By similarity. Subcellular location: Nucleus . Probable. Tissue specificity: Most actively expressed in the developing lens. Detected also in embryonic brain, lung, liver and kidney. In adult, it is more abundant in heart and liver than in brain, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the Prospero homeobox family.Contains 1 Prospero-type homeobox DNA-binding domain. Sequence caution: The sequence CAI15309.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
