Ikaros Mouse anti-Human, Alexa Fluor 647, Clone: R32-1149, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The R32-1149 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Ikaros, which is encoded by IKZF1 (IKAROS family zinc finger 1). Ikaros is also known as Lymphoid transcription factor LyF-1 (LYF1) and ZNFN1A1 [Zinc finger protein, subfamily 1A, 1 (Ikaros)]. Ikaros belongs to the IKAROS family of zinc-finger transcription factors. This DNA-binding transcription factor forms homodimers and heterodimers with other IKAROS family members. It is involved in the development of lymphoid tissues and remains abundantly expressed in the thymus and by cells within peripheral lymphoid tissues. Ikaros functions in the maturation, differentiation, and homeostasis of various hematopoietic cells including T lymphocytes, B cells, NK cells, and neutrophils. Ikaros regulates the expression of a number of genes including various genes expressed during early stages of B- and T-cell development. Several alternatively-spliced human Ikaros isoforms have been described. Abnormal expression of different Ikaros isoforms has been associated with hematologic malignancies . Flow cytometric analysis of 293F cells transfected with members of the IKAROS family has demonstrated that clone R32-1149 is negative on Helios, Aiolos, and Eos transfectants.
