Anti-DACH1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry at a dilution of 1:400. 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.

Dachshund homolog 1 (DACH1) plays a very important role in the proliferation of retinal and pituitary precursor cells, and also inhibits transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) induced apoptosis. It acts as a repressor of TGF-β induction of AP-1 and Smad (transcription factors) signaling. It also represses those genes which are responsive to TGF-β. DACH1 binds to endogenous nuclear receptor co-repressor (NCoR) and inhibits the activation of reporter activity on promoters which are induced by Smad2 or Smad3. DACH1 regulates and blocks contact-independent growth, inhibits cyclin D1 and breast tumor growth. Basically, it is a cell fate determination factor.
