All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Anti-NKX6-1 antibody has been used in immunofluorescence, FAIRE (formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements) and ChIP and immunohistochemistry.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
NKX6-1 (NK6 homeobox 1), a homeobox transcription factor is coded by NKX6A gene. It is located on human chromosome 4q21.2-q22. NKX6-1 belongs to the NK homeobox gene family. It is specific in adult cells producing insulin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NKX6-1 (NK6 homeobox 1) is involved in the growth and modulation of endocrine activities of pancreatic islets. It acts as an immunohistochemical marker for pancreatic and duodenal neuroendocrine tumors. NKX6-1 also participates in lineage specification in early pancreatic progenitor tissue. This gene regulates the expression of several pancreas-related genes.
