REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

HOXA9 also known as Homeobox A9 functions as a transcription factor and plays an important role in regulating gene expression during embryonic development and hematopoiesis. The protein has a mass of approximately 27 kDa. It shows expression in hematopoietic progenitor cells as well as in certain tissues like the lungs and the central nervous system. By binding to specific DNA sequences HOXA9 regulates genes that are vital for cellular differentiation and proliferation.
Biological function summary
HOXA9 controls the transition and lineage commitment of hematopoietic stem cells. The protein often interacts as part of a transcriptional complex involving other HOX family proteins to maintain proper gene expression balance. This regulatory function is essential for normal gene expression patterns needed in stem cell differentiation and organ development processes.
Pathways
HOXA9 plays significant roles in the hematopoietic cell lineage and the retinoic acid signaling pathway. Through these pathways it collaborates with other HOX proteins like HOXB4 to maintain stem cell properties and influence the differentiation process. These interactions facilitate the production of necessary blood cell types and ensure effective response mechanisms to various developmental cues.
HOXA9 shows a strong connection with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Overexpression or mutation of HOXA9 disturbs normal hematopoietic processes often leading to these malignancies. The interaction with protein PBX1 also highlights its role in these diseases as their joint involvement frequently appears in leukemogenesis. Understanding how HOXA9 contributes to these pathways is critical for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
