Description
General description
Forkhead box protein J1 (FOXJ1) is a transcription factor which belongs to the forkhead-box (FOX) gene family. It contains a DNA-binding domain called the forkhead domain. The gene encoding the protein is present on chromosome 17q25.
Immunogen
Forkhead box protein J1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-FOXJ1 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
Forkhead box protein J1 (FOXJ1) is a transcription factor that can suppress T cell activity, through the repression of NF-κβ activity. Its dysregulation is associated with autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases. FOXJ1 plays a critical role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis. This involves intricate interactions between the forkhead family members and inflammatory transcription factors. It coordinates the regulation of the activity of two key inflammatory transcription factors, NF-AT and NF-κβ. It has also been shown that FOXJ1 has fundamental roles in ciliogenesis in the lung and is directly required for epithelial cell ciliogenesis of the neonatal oviduct.
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.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
